Analyzing Text with Visualization Warm Up: Explain what it means to visualize a story.
Visualization Discussion • What does it mean to analyze a story? • What is an inference? • How do inferences help in analyzing a story? • What is the difference between inferences and quotes from a text? • What inferences did we make in the last story we read? • How did that help in analyzing the story? • Are science fiction stories difficult to understand? Why or why not?
