Unit six
Making Inferences in Fiction and narrative nonfiction
In the last unit we made inferences in fiction and poetry. We are going to continue making inferences with fiction and begin making inferences with narrative nonfiction (facts in story form).
Remember An inference is a conclusion or idea that is drawn from the evidence and reasoning.
We like to say an inference is....
what we know + what the text says= inference
EXAMPLE:
Molly put on her rain jacket and rain boots before leaving for school.
What can we infer is happening? It's raining.
Did the sentence say that it was raining outside? no, you just made an inference!
fICTION:
As you listen to the story below, stop after each cHAPTER.
write down some questions you have as you listened.
When finished, look back at your questions. Were any of them answered?
If not, can you make an inference?
What evidence from the text supports your inference?
