Alignment? (This goes with visualizing, but is a bit different.)What was your alignment as you read your book at the beginning of class?
Is it like watching a movie or a TV show?
Is it as if you are the main character?
Is it as if you are standing next to the main character?
Are you somewhere else in the scene?

Making Inferences is very similar to Making Connections and Making Predictions. In fact, predictions are a type of inference. When you make inferences, you use clues from the text, memories, facts, experiences, and more to "read between the lines". You're not just looking forward to guess what will happen next, but you're looking at the whole text!

Prediction is about what is to come.
Inference is about what is.
Inference is reading between the lines.
What is the author saying without directly stating it?
Words you need to know:

Making Inferences is very similar to Making Connections and Making Predictions. In fact, predictions are a type of inference. When you make inferences, you use clues from the text, memories, facts, experiences, and more to "read between the lines". You're not just looking forward to guess what will happen next, but you're looking at the whole text!
We will use an acronym to help us remember the important parts of making an inference. KIC
- Key details/words --- clues from the text +
- what I already knew. . . ..
- Combine them to come up with an inference
Let's make some inferences about this picture. Pick a detail, infer something, and explain why that detail supports your inference.
- What can you infer about the man on the right? What details support your inference? Why?
- What can you infer about the man on the left? What details support your inference? Why?
Making inferences is a life skill, not just a reading skill! You make inferences all the time as you meet new people, decide if a movie is going to be good or not, or try to figure out what happened to that thing that you lost.
