  1. Inferences, Conclusions, Generalizations RC2.4 (5th Grade) Draw inferences, conclusions, or generalizations about text and support them with textual evidence and prior knowledge. (5 questions on CST) www.elatestprep.com

  2. What is an inference? • An inference is when you use clues, logic, and common sense in order to draw a conclusion. • We make inferences whenever we figure out something is probably true. • Writers often tell you more than they say directly. When you use clues to figure something out-you are inferring. • We make inferences every day. www.elatestprep.com

  3. What inferences can you make? Story Clues Common Sense/Logic Inference As the Kinnard family was roasting marshmallows over the campfire, they were filled with awe when they noticed the moonlight reflecting off the water as the waves crashed to shore. www.elatestprep.com

  4. What inferences can you make? Story Clues Common Sense/Logic Inference As the Kinnard family was roasting marshmallows over the campfire, they were filled with awe when they noticed the moonlight reflecting off the water as the waves crashed to shore. -Roasting marshmallows over a fire is a camping activity. -Moonlight isn’t visible during the day. -The ocean has waves. www.elatestprep.com

Story Clues Common Sense/Logic Inference As the Kinnard family was roasting marshmallows over the campfire, they were filled with awe when they noticed the moonlight reflecting off the water as the waves crashed to shore. -Roasting marshmallows over a fire is a camping activity. -Moonlight isn’t visible during the day. -The ocean has waves. They must be camping at the beach. It is most likely a clear night sky. www.elatestprep.com

  6. Clues Inference The air must get thinner as elevation increases. Air must obstruct a telescope’s visibility. The skies above Mauna Kea are cloudy about 65 days per year. Mauna Kea is one of Hawaii’s tallest mountains. Details seem to suggest . . . Hawaii’s 13,796-foot Mauna Kea is ideal for the Keck telescopes because the air at its summit is crisp and thin, providing maximum visibility. Also, the skies are clear 300 days a year.

  7. Clues Inference Before the 1870’s no trains traveled to the Western U.S. It must have been easier to travel by train than by wagon. During the 1800’s, many settlers traveled to Oregon. Details seem to suggest . . . Many settlers traveled west on the Oregon Trail. The trail was used until the 1870’s, when railroads took the place of wagon trains. Logic www.elatestprep.com

  8. Clues Inference Even though bats have wings and fly, they aren’t birds. Bats probably like warmer temperatures more than cold. Details seem to suggest . . . Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly. Their wings are more flexible than those of birds. Bats are all over the world, except for the North and South Pole. Logic www.elatestprep.com

  9. Clues Inference It was completed in 1883. Before 1883, all bridges were shorter than 6,016 feet. Details seem to suggest . . . Work on the Brooklyn Bridge began in 1870. When it was completed 13 years later, it was the biggest of its kind in the world. It was 6,016 feet long. Logic www.elatestprep.com
