  2. What is our focus? • Objective: I can use evidence from the text to support my direct and indirect inferences • Essential Questions: • What is a direct and indirect inference? How can I analyze a text to find the direct and indirect meaning? • What is textual evidence? How can I identify the appropriate support?

  3. Set • On your slate, list a time you made an inference based on something happening in your life. • E.X: My friend’s cell phone vibrated. After she read it, she started crying. I inferred her cat died, because I knew her cat was not doing well for awhile. • Was your inference accurate?

  4. Inferences • When we infer, we... • Play detective by looking for clues to what is really happening. • Use our prior knowledge about the world. • Are reasonable with our assumptions. • Use textual evidence (quote) to back up our ideas.

  5. "I'm home!" Earl shouted as he walked in the door. His wife Gail came bounding down the stairs. She hadn't seen him since he left to go on this silly fishing trip two weeks ago. "I missed you, Husband. Did you catch anything?" • Gail reluctantly asked. She knew that Earl was not a very good fisherman. Earl scratched his head and responded,"You're not going to believe what I'm bringing home." Earl unzipped a cooler and pulled out several perfectly filleted salmon steaks. "Wow, Earl, I didn't know that you could fillet a fish like that." Earl looked around the room a little bit and scratched his head, "Uh, yeah, Jeff taught me how." Gail looked at him suspiciously. "Well, let me help you unpack." As Gail was helping Earl unpack his truck, she found a receipt from the grocery store. It was dated from this morning. What she saw was both disappointing and unsurprising.

  6. Inference Practices • What can we infer Earl did? Use textual evidence to justify. • The following quote supports what inference, “What she saw was both disappointing and unsurprising.” • What quote supports the inference that Gail does not approve of Earl’s fishing trips?

  7. You try it! • Write a mini-story, similar to my Earl and Gail story. It does not need to be more than two paragraphs. • You will have a chance to share your story with a partner and have them create inferences. • Extra time? Create 2 questions about your text!

  8. Closure • 3- three things to remember about inferences. • 2- two warnings you would give someone when they are trying to create an inference. • 1-one trick you have to help you find relevant textual evidence to support your inference.
