3. Learning Targets • I can make inferences to deepen my understanding of Inside Out & Back Again. • I can cite evidence from the novel to explain how incidents reveal aspects of Ha’s character. • I can use context clues to figure out word meanings. • I can participate in discussions about the text with a partner, small group, and the whole class.

4. M1 U1 L3 – Text Dependent Questions • How do the events in this poem connect to the first poem we read, “1975:Year of the Cat,” and the title of the novel, Inside Out & Back Again? (two parts to this question – did you answer both?) Model Answer: The events in this poem connect to the first poem through the words “foretells” and “predicts.” This is apparent through the use of “foretells” in the first poem (stanza 3), and “he predicts our lives will twist inside out” in the second poem (stanza 1). Secondly, the author uses the same phrase for the title of the book and the title of this poem, therefore emphasizing “inside out.”

5. M1 U1 L3 – Text Dependent Questions 2. The fortune teller foretells that their “lives will turn inside out” (p.4, stanza 1). I infer that this means that change will happen, probably negatively. Ha says that their food “will be smeared in blood” (stanza 4), which is a negative thought about the future.
