  1. INFERENCE VS PREDICTION Inference: drawing a conclusion about something in the text using the text evidence, your own background knowledge and common sense.

  2. INFERENCE VS PREDICTION Prediction: using the text evidence, background knowledge an common sense to make a guess as to what will happen in the future.

  3. INFERENCE & PREDICTIONWhat they have in common… • You make a logical guess using evidence from the text, your own knowledge, and common sense. • Developing skills in making inferences and making predictions is a critical aspect of becoming a master of words and of literature.

  4. What is the Difference? • Inferences are made about what happened in the past or what is currently happening. • Predictions are an attempt to guess what WILL happen in the future. (Hint: predictions usually have the words will or going to in them) • Inferences are RARELY confirmed. You most likely will NOT find out if you were right or wrong. • Predictions are almost ALWAYS confirmed! You will find out if you were right or wrong!

  5. INFERENCES-how to make them • Read the text carefully. • Think about the types of inferences readers make/ask yourself a question to find the answer to • Look for clues such as pictures, the title, vocabulary and the text. Act like you're a detective! • Use background knowledge and what you already know about a topic. • Make sure your inference is logical and well-reasoned.

  6. AS I finish reading “Jared” today… Identify whether I make an inference or prediction each time I stop.
