1 Ladder of Inference Introduction and Practice

2 Ladder of Inference: Three different versions for different audiences and purposes

5 Ladder of Inference I do something because of my beliefs. I develop beliefs based on the meaning I add. I add my own meaning. (cultural & personal) R My beliefs affect what I choose to notice in the future. I notice certain information & experiences. Information & experiences around me Adapted from The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook. Last modified 5/05

6 Fun ways to introduce the Ladder of Inference 1. Illusions 2. Children s Stories 3. Archaeological evidence Footprints 4. Have I Ever? 5. Mysteries WhoDunIt 6. A real ladder and examples from real life 7. Other resources on WebEd

7 Illusions What is it? What do you no(ce that leads you to that conclusion or belief?

8 Children s Stories Identify a main character in the story. What is an ac(on that the character took? Use the Ladder to explain why the character took that ac(on. Repeat the process with a different character in the same book and compare ladders.

9 Archaeological Evidence What Happened? What did you no(ce that led you to that conclusion or belief?

12 Have I Ever?

13 WhoDunIt?

14 Children s Stories What did you notice? As the audience of this scene, what did you think you were supposed to no(ce? What did you miss as a result? How is the ladder opera(ng in this situa(on?

15 Example situations we might notice: Johnny gets called to the office over the intercom. Janey wins the spelling bee. Jasper chooses to stay inside rather than go out to play baseball. Jasmine grabs a pencil away from Judy. The teacher climbs the ladder and with each step asks the next question: 1. What meaning might we add? 2. What belief might we now have? 3. What action might we take based on that belief? 4. How does it feel at the top of the ladder? How certain is the top?
