Missed Bus Inference

Students read a passage about a missed school bus and identify the implied meaning beneath each explicit line of text. The activity helps learners interpret tone, frustration, and emotional context by examining how behavior conveys feeling. This practice supports reading comprehension, emotional inference, and text analysis in narrative form.
