  1. Making an Inference Post –It Strategy and It Says, I Say Strategy

  2. Inference • An inference is a conclusion that you make using the text and what you already know. • Not written in the book. This is where “reading between the lines” happens. • You can inference – what is going to happen next (prediction), how a character is feeling, what a character may be referring to. = + What You Know Text An inference

  3. Personal Connection vs. Background Knowledge • Personal Connection • Finding a character, setting, theme, or event that you can relate to your own life. • While you may have never been in an arena killing other kids (Hunger Games), you have probably stuck up for a brother, sister, friend, etc. and took the blame like Katniss volunteered for Prim. • Background Knowledge (Schema) • Looking to what you already know to make an inference. This may be a lesson you learned in life, in school, on TV, etc. • In Maze Runner, Thomas wakes up remembering who he is but nothing else. I know that many times people with memory loss can remember certain things, but not everything. If someone gets a concussion they may remember everything except the day before, of, and after the injury.
