Make an Inference

Read between the Lines
What is an Inference?

 An inference is something that you
  conclude based on evidence and
  partly on your own knowledge.
 When you make an inference, you
  read something, add what you know
  to it, and draw a conclusion.
 You put “two and two together” or
  “read between the lines”.
Did you know that you make
inferences everyday in the real
world?

 You evaluate situations.
 You make predictions.

 These skills help you to choose
  friends, settle arguments, make
  decisions.
How is this romance going?
What might happen next?

You can make inferences
about the setting
   After reading you can picture a setting; you
    are “reading” the setting.
   You need to read between the lines and
    make inferences about what it tells you.
   Usually it tells you:
       About the feeling, or mood, of the moment
       About how characters feel or what they are
        like
       About something new that is about to
        happen in the plot
Check Out This Example

“Snow blows across the highway before me as I
walk—little, wavering trails of it swept along like a
people dispersed. The snow people—where are
they going? Some great danger must pursue them.
They hurry and fall, the wind gives them a push,
they get up and go on again.”

                JOHN HAINES, FROM “SNOW”
What I Read +            What I Know =              What I Infer
                         Already

                         up.
With Your Partner Make an
       Inference
“In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the
   easterns spurs of the Carpathians, a man stood
   one winter night watching and listening, as
   though he waited for some beast of the woods
   to come within the range of his vision and, later,
   of his rifle. But the game for whose presence
   he kept so keen an outlook was none that
   figured in the sportsman’s calendar as lawful
   and proper for the chase; Ulrich von Gradwitz
   patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human
   enemy.”               The Interlopers by Saki
What can you infer that Ulrich
    von Gradwitz is up to ?

  • 23. With Your Partner Make an Inference “In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the easterns spurs of the Carpathians, a man stood one winter night watching and listening, as though he waited for some beast of the woods to come within the range of his vision and, later, of his rifle. But the game for whose presence he kept so keen an outlook was none that figured in the sportsman’s calendar as lawful and proper for the chase; Ulrich von Gradwitz patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human enemy.” The Interlopers by Saki
  • 24. What can you infer that Ulrich von Gradwitz is up to ? What I Read + What I Know = What I Infer Already

  1. SAY TO STUDENTS: Questioning and inferring work in tandem to enhance understanding of text. (Harvey & Goudvis, Strategies that Work)
  2. AFTER YOU READ THE SLIDE TO STUDENTS, COVER THESE POINTS To infer as we read is to go beyond literal interpretation and to open a world of meaning deeply connected to our lives. (Ellen Keene, Mosaic of Thought) When you make an inference, you first go to the text, pictures, graphics, and then add your own background knowledge. Because we have different backgrounds we may arrive at different inferences but they must always be plausible and be supported by the passage
  3. READ SLIDE
  4. FIRST DISCUSS WHAT IS LITERALLY HAPPENING IN THIS PICTURE.. WHAT DO THEY SEE? THEN ASK THE QUESTION: How is this romance going? What inferences can we make?
  5. SAY TO STUDENTS: What are the literal implications of the picture? What inference can you make?
  6. TELL STUDENTS: Inferring is not just guessing! Teacher walks students through the process – MODEL with this picture. See next three slides with YOU doing the work.
  7. With this slide, take students through GUIDED PRACTICE What do they literally see? Next two slides for our responses. Students may differ.
  8. Have students provide the answers for this picture. Sample responses follow.
  9. Have students jot down their answers for “What I view”…. + “What I know already” = “What I infer”
  10. Ask students how their inference changed with more information
  11. TELL STUDENTS: In addition to pictures you can make inferences about other elements of fiction and the elements of nonfiction as well.
  12. MODEL THIS EXAMPLE
  13. Step 1: Pair a stronger reader with a more fragile reader for this partner work. Step 2: Students read passage silently from SMARTBOARD Step 3: Teacher reads it aloud Step 4: Teacher asks student pairs to “unpack”, literally, what the text says and record it under “What I Read” and “What I Already Know” on the graphic organizer. Step 5: Discuss student responses briefly, both “What I read” and “What I already know”. Step 6: Have student pairs answer the question, “What is Ulrich von Gradwitz up to?” by inferring a response.
