  4. Unit 2:Making Inferences Mikulecky and Jeffries Class Discussion

  5. Making Inferences Good readers make inferences as they read: • Inferences: deriving (getting) the logical consequences of an action, derive by reason • In addition to reading, use imagination and knowledge to fill in facts and ideas that are not stated in the text • “Reading between the lines” • Sometimes writers leave out information they think readers will know or guess In many kinds of writings, authors present facts and…authors make inferences from those facts.

  6. Separating Fact from Inference Facts are statements of information that can be verified • For example; • The population of Morocco is about 32 million people. • On July 1, 2011, Morocco had a referendum on a new constitution. • According to the Moroccan government, 98.5% of people who voted approved the constitution, or 9,653,492 people. • Only 146,718 people voted against adopting the constitution.

  7. Separating Fact from Inference Inferences are educated guesses that are based on facts: • For example; • The population of Morocco is about 32 million people. • Not all of the people of Morocco voted for the referendum. • On July 1, 2011, Morocco had a referendum on a new constitution. • The Moroccan people felt that there was a need for changes in their society. • According to the Moroccan government, 98.5% of people who voted approved the constitution, or 9,653,492 people. • Not all of the people of Morocco agreed that the changes were enough.

  9. Unit 3:Understanding Paragraphs Mikulecky and Jeffries Class Discussion

  10. Identifying the Topic English is a topic-centered language • A paragraph, or longer text, has a single main topic • Usually mentioned in the beginning Topic: • A word or phrase that best describes what all of the sentences in the paragraph are about. • Repeated words are usually related to the topic Practice with identifying the topic, Exercise 1 on Pgs. 106-107

  11. Topic Sentences Paragraphs in English usually contain a topic sentence • Usually mentioned in the beginning • Sometimes it’s in the middle or end Practice with choosing the missing topic sentence, Exercise 2 on Pgs. 107-108

  12. Main Ideas In addition to stating the topic, most topic sentences also tell the writer’s main idea. • Main Idea: the idea the writer wants to express about the topic • To explain the idea, the writer includes supporting details Practice with the example in Pg. 109 In some paragraphs, the topic sentence may not state the complete idea. • The topic may be in one sentence • The writer’s idea about the topic may be in another
