Learn from my fail is a great way to teach inference skills
In this activity I have provided 58 instances in which the students must:
Infer what mistake (fail) the person has made.
-Or-
Infer what has happened as a result of the mistake (fail).
For Example: When doing a craft project, if your hot glue gun slips off the work table, don't try to catch it. #LFMF
Inference: Someone tried to catch a hot glue gun when it fell and they burned their hand badly
The kids laugh and laugh every year when I pull this activity out, and best of all it really seems to do the trick!

I used this as part of a larger unit on inference with my 9th grade students. They loved it! This activity made them laugh and got them to participate in discussing the inferences with enthusiasm. Thank you!

It is listed for grades 6-12...not elementary. Make sure you check that age listing in the future! :)

I have used it for all the grades that it is listed for. Hopefully your grade was not one of the ones I had listed.

I like it. With the hash symbols, they are like tweets, so I think that is how I am going to present them. Thank you!

They are from a popular website that most of the kids know called "Learn from my fail" hence the name!

Interesting idea, but I wasn't really sure of the best way to use it. A lesson plan with the handout would be really helpful.

I thought about this for awhile, but I dont know how I could write a whole lesson plan for this activity.
The directions at the top are pretty much all there is to it.
They need to make an inference on what "fail" the person must have made or what happened as a result of the fail.
For example:
If your girlfriend says, "Do I look fat in this?" you shouldn't give your honest opinion.
Inference: The man told his girlfriend she did, indeed, look fat and probably got into a lot of trouble with his girlfriend.
It is all using inferencing skills to come up with what the person did wrong (fail) or what will happen next (usually something negative)
