Activity 2: Acting it out

For inference, we need to look for clues to help us understand the poem. There are lots of active words. Stand up and try to act out some  of the words. Try skipping and making a  'regular beat' 'shuffle' 'flick' 'slaps the ground' 'swish and swoop' What else can you do? If you have a skipping rope, use it!

Activity 3: Inference Practice

Now we know what the words feel like. We can start to understand what the author means. Let's use our inference skills to answer this question:

Do you think the author thinks skipping is easy? Justify your answer with evidence from the text.

First, look for evidence in the text.

Do these words and phrases make skipping sound easy?

What could our answer be? Think about what your answer would be, then look on the next page. I think that the author thinks skipping is ________________. I know this because...

don't trip suddenly slaps the ground make sure you're awake

don't stop now it won't allow

Activity 3: Inference Question

Do you think the author thinks skipping is easy? Justify your answer with evidence from the text.

I think that the author thinks skipping is hard. I know this because he describes the rope as a 'whip' and says, 'don't trip'. This makes me think that the author is having to try hard to keep

jumping and avoid the 'whip'.

Your turn! Now copy and answer this question on your own:

Do you think the author thinks skipping is exciting? Justify your answer with evidence from the text.

I think that the author thinks skipping is _________ because in the text...
