26. 9/27/16 Entry__:Inferencing
Reduce
Record
“What does it mean to infer?”
When we read for evidence about a specific question, we make meaning of the words in the text as they relate back to this question. Often this means we have to connect something in the text with some information from other parts of the text, or from our background knowledge. The meaning we make is often in the form of an inference.
Example: Long Walk to Water to page 2
Read aloud the first two paragraphs on the page, ending with the line, “…which was why he was letting his mind wander down the road ahead of his body.” Infer what that means.
