Sixth grade students worked collaboratively to complete the Bag-O-Stuff: Inferencing and Drawing Conclusions activity. As we reviewed these important reading and thinking skills, students analyzed the items in each bag to create a personality profile for a fictitious owner. This engaging activity encouraged critical thinking, teamwork, and evidence-based reasoning.
