Inference ● Inference is using your own background knowledge to find the hidden meaning in the text, what the author doesn't state explicitly. ● Explict: Stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt. ● Implict: Implied though not plainly expressed ● You can find inference by using your schema, background knowledge. Predicting is part of inference and you infer in oder to find out what the author is trying to say behind the words. ● Example: What can you infer from “The Nazi's are coming, and there is no way out!” ● You can infer that the people talking are running away from the Nazi's, but they're trapped; they are also most likely Jews. ● Video:

Textual Support ● Textual support is using quotes and your inferences of them to back up your conclusions of a story. ● Don't forget to cite every quote you use as evidence. OwlPurdue website is good for help with citations. ● To find textual evidence read closely and do engaging activities throughout the time you're reading the story. This will help to keep you focused and on task. Be thinking about what you may say the theme is and what quotes could be your support. ● Connect with the text through: – Visualize: picture the text and use the five senses – Personal: Use your own stories – React: Say how the text makes you feel, emotional – Retell: Summarize what the text said ● Video:

Theme and Author's Purpose ●T●Theme: is implict, and is the message we should take from the story that we can apply to real life. ●A●Author's purpose: the reason the author wrote the text. Persuade?
