15. Inference c - notes

16. Foreshadowing c-notes
Foreshadowing is giving a hint that something is going to happen. This is done by showing certain events, people or information that are an indication of something that will occur later on in the story. Foreshadowing can add tension or expectation to the narrative.

17. Deduction, my dear fellow
"The little details are, by far, the most important”
"How is the idea of inference related to Sherlock Holmes?"
"How can details make a response more reliable?"

18. o. Henry lesson
 How to answer inference questions by supporting answers with details from the text in order to make an answer more reliable?
O. Henry is famous for surprise endings, so it will be important to look for details based on inference. O. Henry often uses foreshadowing in his writing and students will want to look for foreshadowing clues to make inferences about what might happen next in the text.

19. Let’s read, write, and discuss!
Write down a one to two sentence summary.
"Where can you see the foreshadowing clues that O. Henry gave throughout the story?“
"How did each of the examples of foreshadowing connect as the story progressed?“
 "How does foreshadowing prepare readers for a surprise ending?"

21. Text evidence from literal questions

22. How are theme and central idea developed through the text?
Through characters’ actions
Through key plot details
Through the conflict

23. Examples of themes in literature
1. Many of Aesop's fables end with an explicitly stated moral, or theme. For example, the tale of the tortoise and the hare typically ends with, "Slow and steady wins the race."
2. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee has several themes, but one of the main ones is that we all have the capacity for good and evil. Scout and Jem learn that "good" people can demonstrate prejudice, and someone is is considered "bad" like Boo Radley has the capacity to do good.
3. One of the themes of The Hunger Games relates to the idea that reality television is entertaining only for the audience, but those who are living the drama are not as amused. The "games" that Kat and Peeta have to compete in are for the entertainment of the wealthy people in the capitol. The author is obviously making a comment on the reality TV craze.

24. Possible theme statements
Fear and suspicion can cause peaceful people to turn on one another.
Mankind is its own worst enemy.
Prejudices can kill.
Suspicion can destroy
Thoughtless, frightened searching for a scapegoat will have a fallout.
Now you try it!
