January 16, 2014 Holes chapters 33-36 making inferences Homework: Work on unit 3 vocabulary. Quiz and assignment completion moved Wednesday January 22nd (when you return from long weekend). Holes quiz on chapters 29-39 on Wednesday January 22nd! Objective: I can make inferences based on textual evidence. Warm Up (in your composition book) Copy today's date and the objective into your comp book. Look up the definition for INFERENCE in the back of your Literature book (blue section).
Because Stanley wanted to find Zero, He tried to steal Mr. Pendanski's pick up truck, but was not successful since he drove right into a hole!
Inference a logical guess that is based on facts and one's own knowledge and experience.
We make inferences all the time...look at this example. Read the following passages... pg. 66 the paragraph starting with "It didn't take long for the pickup to return." pg. 121 the paragraph starting with "Linda Miller had been in the fourth grade when Kate Barlow was a teacher." This is the textual information
What do we know already? The text tells us that the Warden has the same turquoise stones in her boots that Kate Barlow used to have in her boots. Also, both Linda Walker (Trout's wife) and the Warden both have red hair and freckles. Also, she made the boys dig once they found the tube with KB engraved on it, so she is obviously interested in Kate Barlow What inference can you make?
Now I will give your groups a bag with inferences...you must match them up and, in your composition book, write an inference relating to each scenario. EVERYONE!!!
Review questions... Chp. 29 What do you think is the significance of Stanley’s vision of the giant thumb? Explain. Chp. 30 Why doesn’t Stanley fight back when Zigzag taunts him? What would you do in his position? Chp. 31 Why doesn’t Stanley go after Zero? Chp. 32 Thinking about Zero, “what worried (Stanley) the most … was the fear that it wasn’t too late.” What does this mean? Explain.
We will now read chapters 33-36 together as a class. As we read each chapter, think about the inferences you can make based on the text.
