Description
Engage your students with this creative and interactive inference activity based on the short film Soar.
This dialogue-free movie provides the perfect opportunity for students to practice inferring character thoughts, feelings, and motivations using prior knowledge, music, and actions.
Students will pause at key moments in the film, as indicated on the activity sheet, to write possible inner dialogue for the characters from a first-person point of view. This encourages critical thinking and helps students develop their ability to infer effectively.
Why Teachers Love It: This activity captivates middle school students, including reluctant learners, and makes the process of learning HOW to infer both fun and meaningful.
What’s Included:
1. Student Activity Sheet: Includes pausing spots and areas to write inferences for both characters.
2. Teacher Instructions: Step-by-step guidance and a link to the movie for seamless implementation.
This resource is available as a PDF download.
