About This Lesson
An author, a poet, a speaker, or a narrator may or may not tell the reader everything in the story. Sometimes the author leaves clues and we have to figure out what is being said…..we have to figure out what is not directly stated. In order to accomplish this, we take information we know and clues from the text. We put them together and we are able to infer. In this lesson, we will look at several items and see what we can infer, why we think so, and what it may tell us about a character.
I will use this idea in my class in England, just changing the US postal envelope to a UK one! A super idea to reinforce the use of "I infer ...." Thank you.
