Friends list, I need your help.

[velvetpage]

I need scenarios where my students might reasonably infer what was happening, in language and theme that is fine for ten-year-olds. For example:

1) A young man arrives at his girlfriend's house, bearing a dozen red roses and a small jewelry box.

2) Sirens go off in the middle of the night; when you look out your window, you see an ambulance parked in front of the house of your elderly neighbours.

Give me more. I'm typing them onto inference cards and making a game of them for my kids.

You hear a cat yowl and look out the window to see a dog barking up a tree.


You open the door when you get home and smell fresh baked cookies.


You flick on the light switch, but the lamp doesn't turn on.


Then there's the kids' song on the tiny keyboard Rhys got for Christmas (sung to "Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo)

Where's our gerbil, I haven't got a clue,
Where's our gerbil, I haven't got a clue,
Where's our gerbil, I haven't got a clue,
The big black cat was hungry.

No fish in the fish bowl, what'll I do?
No fish in the fish bowl, what'll I do?
No fish in the fish bowl, what'll I do?
Catch that cat before he's through.

Uh oh, there were birds too.
Uh oh, there were birds too.
Uh oh, there were birds too.
The big black cat is full now.

That's great. I should print it out and give it to the primary teachers. :)

*giggles* I heard it and just couldn't believe it.
