When Your Teacher Says, "No talking!"
And, no sign language, either!
(I was so happy to see this on Facebook. I laughed, then thanked the people who posted it. Now I'm sharing it with you because, yes, this is what I mean when I say, "No talking.")

Inference
What
can you infer from this passage?
What is she doing? How is she feeling? What is going on?
Lisa
bit her nails. She looked at the
clock for the tenth time. At last
the phone rang. She jumped. Then she grabbed the phone. “Who is it?” she cried. Her voice shook. Her heart pounded.
Background Knowledge
Background/Prior Knowledge/Schema is Important!
Listen carefully to the following poem:
With hocked gems financing him
Our hero bravely defied
All scornful laughter
That tried to prevent his scheme.
“Your eyes deceive,” he said,
“An egg, not a table correctly
Typify this unexplored planet.”
Now three sturdy sisters sought proof,
Forging along, sometimes through calm vastness
And yet more often over peaks and valleys.
Days became weeks as many doubters spread fearful rumors about the edge.
At last welcomed winged creatures appeared,
Signifying momentous success.
