  2. Objective: • I will make accurate inferences about the text at least 80% of the time. • I will use inferences to better comprehend a story. • I will cite evidence from the text to support my answer so that I know my inference is correct.

  3. Making Inferences • A story has two types of information: Fact and Inferences. • Facts are clearly stated in the story. • Inferences are conclusions you make based on the facts in the story. You use the facts as evidence to make your inference.

If you came to different conclusions, discuss your answers thoroughly. If one of you cannot prove your answer is correct by citing evidence from the text, then you are probably not correct.
