Presentation transcript:

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

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

 You make a logical guess using evidence from the text, your own knowledge, and common sense.using evidence from the text  Developing skills in making inferences and making predictions is a critical aspect of becoming a master of words and of literature.

 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!

 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.

Identify whether I make an inference or prediction each time I stop.
