4. Your turn: Make this chart in your journal.
Quote Accurately
When answering questions about the most important details and events in informational text, it is important to accurately quote text from the story. In addition to quoting text accurately to answer basic comprehension questions, you can also use specific details from the text to make inferences.
When you make inferences, you use what you’ve read in addition to what you already know to fill in information that is not stated in a selection. You can use inferences to better understand a text and answer questions about it. To make inferences, ask yourself what information is missing from a text. Then think about your own experiences and other texts you’ve read to help you answer these questions. Here is a helpful visual to show you how inferring works:

Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often said.

31. Your turn: complete the handout.
When we walked into the restaurant, I couldn't believe my eyes. My favorite actor in the whole world, John MacIlveen, was standing at the counter.
My best friend Olivia saw him right away, too. "Wendy, you have to go over and talk to him right this minute."
"I'm sure he doesn't want to be bothered, especially by me," I said.
"You won't find out unless you try," Olivia said, taking my arm and pulling me toward him.
My stomach tied itself into a million knots.
"Hi!" Olivia said to him. "This is my friend Wendy, and she really wants to talk to you." She walked away, leaving me staring into John MacIlveen's big brown eyes, unable to get a single word to come out of my mouth.
"Hello, Wendy," he said, his eyes sparkling. "What did you want to say to me?"
I swallowed hard. My words ran together as I gathered the courage to speak. "I love all your movies, especially the one where you co-starred with the gorilla. I saw that one three times—no, four. I'm your biggest fan, Mr. MacIlveen."
"Call me Mac," he said. "All my friends do."
All the knots in my stomach untied.
Your turn: complete the handout.

32. Explanation
When Wendy was nervous, her stomach tied itself into knots. After the actor said they were friends, the knots in her stomach untied themselves. This means she became calm and felt fantastic.

33. Question: Why does Wendy describe the actor's eyes as big, brown, and sparkling?
To make the reader think that Wendy is not interested in him
To show that Wendy finds him handsome
To make the reader believe Wendy dislikes him
To show that Wendy wishes she had eyes like his

34. Explanation
Wendy talks about the actor's eyes twice in the story. After she stares into them, the text says she was “unable to get a single word to come out of [her] mouth.” This shows that she thinks he is handsome.

35. Question: What would the reader learn if the story were told from MacIlveen’s point of view?
How the actor feels about having a fan talk to him
Which of the actor's movies is Olivia's favorite
Why Olivia does not want to talk to the actor
How Wendy feels about talking to the actor

36. How the actor feels about having a fan talk to him
Question: What would the reader learn if the story were told from MacIlveen’s point of view?
How the actor feels about having a fan talk to him
Which of the actor's movies is Olivia's favorite
Why Olivia does not want to talk to the actor
How Wendy feels about talking to the actor
Explanation
Telling the story from MacIlveen's point of view would let the reader know his feelings and emotions. That would let the reader know if the actor minded having a fan talk to him. We would not know Olivia or Wendy's feelings.
