  1. TARGET FOR TODAY- INFERENCE

  2. Objective: Can you make an inference?

  3. Let’s practice making inferences out loud… • Sue blew out the candles and got presents. • Mary plays her flute for two hours every day. • The boat drifted in the middle of the lake. • John went running into the middle of the street without looking. • Debbie was the star pitcher, but she had a broken finger.

  4. More practice out loud… • We bought tickets and some popcorn. • I forgot to set my alarm clock last night. • When I woke up, there were branches and leaves all over the yard. • Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and took everything home. • Everyone stopped when the referee blew the whistle.

  5. What do you infer is going on here? Talk to your partner He put down $10.00 at the window. The woman behind the window gave $4.00. The person next to him gave him $3.00, but he gave it back to her. So, when they went inside, she bought him a large bag of popcorn.

  6. INFERENCE DEFINITION… • To think and make meaning about something beyond what is written in the text • To combine what is read with what the reader already knows about that subject • It is reading ‘between the lines’

  7. Why do we need to know how to make inferences? • It helps us make sense, comprehend text • Because an author doesn’t always put everything in writing, you will need to know how to infer in order to fully understand a text • You have to infer all the time, not just when reading • It flexes your higher level thinking muscles

  8. The Inference Formula Inference C- Claim: your inference E: Evidence- author’s words (evidence from text) E: Evidence- author’s words (evidence from text) R:Reasoning - how your knowledge and the quote prove your answer is correct Other words for inference: infer, predict, assumption/assume

  9. Inference Formula Continued… • When writing your inference, do not use the word think. This is not strong enough. • Use words like infer, predict, assume, I know • *if the only word to use is “think” then use it, but try another if possible.

  10. Let’s practice using the inference formula Complete the questions for “The Outsiders” using this formula C: What is your inference? E: A quote that backs it up (text evidence) E: Another supporting quote (2nd text evidence) R: Explain your reason (how your knowledge and quote prove your answer is correct).
