Making Inferences
Inferences n Inferences are logical assumptions about information or ideas that are not directly stated. n An inference is an intelligent guess, based on what the text tells you, about things not directly stated in the text.
Inferences n EXAMPLE: u Suppose a story opens with a man running down a dark alley while looking over his shoulder. What might you infer? n. You can infer from these details that the man is trying to get away from someone or something.
Forming Inferences To form inferences: 1. Make a connection to the text. 2. Recognize and pull out clues from the text. 3. Make an INFERENCE by concluding, predicting, or interpreting
Making Connections n n n n n Draw Conclusions Make Connections Make Predictions Form Questions Use Context Clues Visualize/Imagine Make Judgments Evaluate Interpret Identify
Recognizing Clues n n Recognize details in the story and consider their importance. Pull clues out of text.
Making Inferences n n Use your connection and clues to conclude, predict, or interpret. Together they make an INFERENCE!
Concluding n A conclusion is a logical decision or opinion you reach by pulling together several facts or details.
Concluding n Drawing conclusions means arriving at an overall judgment or idea by pulling together several details.
Predicting n A prediction is an informed guess about what will happen.
Predicting n Making predictions means making an intelligent guess about what will happen next in a story based on details in the text and the reader’s prior knowledge.
Interpreting n An interpretation is an explanation of meaning of an author’s work.
Interpreting n Making interpretations means rendering meaning from a piece of text.
