I re-taught the lesson with a greater emphasis on recording prior knowledge. I did several examples to reinforce the requirements.
An example of the student's task is found below:
Target Group: Inference Equation Why do Ryans eyes get red and itchy when he walks inside the house.
What I See Evidence

What I Know
Prior Knowledge
 |
What I infer
 |
Write down what you can
read in the passage |
Use background knowledge and prior
experience from your own life. |
Put what you see and what
you know and make your own conclusion |
Three students had a greater understanding how to make inferences while 2 could not.
