Initial personal reactions to the Mike Rose essay:
1. What do you think about separating students by ability
level in high school? Advantages/disadvantages? How
would it affect learning? Did you high school do this?
2. In the essay, the writer claims that students use
sophisticated defense mechanisms to get through high
school. Have you ever used any defenses in school?
How did these defenses make you act? Did they help or
hinder your learning?

• A fact is information that can be proven
• An “inference” is a judgment from known facts.
• Inferences help you form opinions about what you
read or hear.
“ If you infer that something has happened, you do
not see, hear, feel, smell, or taste the actual event.
But from what you know, it makes sense to think
that it has happened.” (cuesta.edu).
