Included in This Making Inferences Escape Room Challenge Reading Activity:

➡️ Making Inferences Presentation Slides: Use these PowerPoint presentation slides to guide the inference lesson and activity with instructional slides on making inferences. Also included are activity prompts, the narrative story text, story conclusion slides, and answer keys for review.

➡️ Solve the Crime and Find the Thief Narrative Back Story: Next, students are ready to put what they have learned into action! They will begin the challenge by reading a short backstory that sets up the escape room challenge. Students are thrust into their role as criminal investigators at a local police agency, tasked with solving their first case involving a robbery at a mini-mart; armed with a list of 11 possible suspects and a witness statement, they must interrogate suspects, gather evidence, and analyze clues to identify the perpetrator and bring them to justice.

➡️ Making Inferences Escape Room Style Challenge: In this interactive escape-room style inference challenge, students must read an original short story, examine all of the evidence, and read the witness testimony to have a strong understanding of the details of the crime. Then, you must read each of the criminal profiles to infer who would be the most likely suspect by eliminating those who have an alibi or don’t fit the profile.
