E. Review

A conclusion is…
Do you have any idea about the word “conclusion”

A conclusion usually contains a summing up of points

and a statement of opinion or decisions reached.
When you come to a conclusion, you decide that
something is true after you have thought about it
carefully and have considered all the relevant facts.
This is just part of our topic that we will discuss later
on.
Before that, get your notebooks. We will have our
spelling test.
1. Evidence
2. Inference
3. Clues
4. Conclusion

Who got 3 points and above?

2. Motivation

Caption me!
The class will be divided into two. I need 5 volunteers
from each group to participate in our activity. I will
show you pictures. Examine each picture closely,
paying attention to details such as people, objects,
settings, and actions. Consider what you see and
what you can infer from the visual cues provided.
Make educated guesses or interpretations about what
might be happening in the picture. Write your answers
on the board. The first group who can provide the
accurate answers will be the winner in this activity.

Did you get the instructions? Yes, Ma’am.

1. 2.

3. 4.

Answers:
1. The boy is celebrating his 5th birthday.
2. The man helps the old lady carry her things.
3. The boy is afraid of ghost.
4. The boy apologizes to her mother for breaking the
picture frame.

3.Analysis
What helps you to interpret the given pictures? The visible evidences in the pictures.

Are there clues in the pictures? Yes, Ma’am.

Have you experienced or witnessed the scenarios in Yes.

the pictures that made you come up with an
interpretation?

With that, what do you think will be our lesson for

today? Our lesson for today is all about “Inferences”

That’s right!

Have I used inference before? Imagine for a moment

that you haven arrived at your house after school. All
the lights are out so you assume that you are the first
one home. You finally opened the door of your room
and see that it has been cleaned. You then concluded
that someone must have cleaned your room while you
were at school. In each of these moments you have
practiced inference.

4.Abstraction
Inferences
 are ideas or conclusions drawn from evidence
and reasoning
 are educated guesses
 are acts or processes of inferring; hints or
suggestions
Infer
 to conclude from evidence or by reasoning
 to involve by logical necessity; entail

What is inference?
Inference is using observation and background to
reach a logical conclusion. You probably practice
inference everyday. For example, if you see someone
eating a new food and he or she makes a face. What
can you infer with his/her reaction?
He/she does not like the food.
If someone slams a door, you can infer that she is
upset about something.
Before you can begin to practice inference in
literature, you should know what you are looking for.
Your goal is to find the intended meaning of the text.
Intended meaning is what we think the author is trying
to teach us.
How to practice making inferences?
1. Observe all the facts, arguments and information
given by the author.
2. Consider what you already know from you own
experience.
3. Your goal as you read is to make conclusions.
4. As you read, make guesses.
5. Ask questions. Why are the characters acting a
certain way? What are they thinking? Where are they
going? What are they feeling?
6. Make predictions. What do you think will happen
next? How will a character react?
7. Find connection in the details. See what is missing
or stated in the details and make connections.

Here’s an example on how you can make inferences:

5. Application
Get your notebooks for our activity. Read the
directions.

Directions: Read and analyze the passage carefully.

Answer the following questions to come up with your
inferences. You will get 2 points each answer.

A LESSON FROM CHINA

Kathy was born in China. She moved to Australia

when she was just six years old. At first, she found it
difficult to make friends because of the language
barrier. During her first year of school, she spent a lot
of time alone, without anyone else to talk to. She had
to work harder than any of the other students in the
classroom when learning to read and write. Her
parents packed her lunch everyday, and she had
interesting foods like fried rice and noodles. The other
students thought her food was strange, but Kathy
didn’t care. One day another student had forgotten to
bring lunch, so Kathy shared with her. The two
became best friends and ended up sharing lunch for
the rest of the year.

1. How do you think Kathy felt during her first year

of school?
Answer: I think Kathy is lonely/sad during her first
year of school.
How did you make this inference?
Answer: Kathy was lonely because it was difficult for
her to make friends in Australia and adjust in a new
environment.
2. Why do you think Kathy had to work harder
than the other students when learning to read and
write?
Answer: Kathy had to work harder than the other
students when learning to read and write because
she is used to communicating using the language they
used in China and she had no friends to help her.
How did you make this inference?
It was hard for Kathy to interact with other people in
Australia because of the language barrier.

3. Did you think Kathy’s friend enjoyed sharing

Kathy’s lunch?
Answer: I think Kathy’s friend enjoyed Kathy’s lunch.
How did you make this inference?
Answer: When Kathy shared her lunch with her
classmate, the two became best friends and ended up
sharing lunch for the rest of the year.

Are you done?

Let us check your answers. Exchange your paper with
your seatmate.
Who got 10-12 points?
Well done!

6. Generalization
Why is it important to make inferences? When writing
a story, an author will not include all the information
for us. He/she will expect us to read between lines
and reach conclusions about the text. When making
inferences, you are looking beyond what is stated in
the the the text and finding the ideas to which the
author only hints. This makes you a more active
reader and critical thinker. It also makes it easier to
understand what the author is sharing with you.

7. Assessment
