Inferences!

Do you remember what inferences are? 

  • When you infer, you have to "read between the lines". 
  • You must try to figure out what the author is saying by looking for clues in the text and use what you already know
Read the paragraphs below and then use the clues given and what you already know to answer the questions. 

1. I put on my white shirt and begin chopping carrots. Behind me is a pot of boiling broth. I choose some nice herbs and chop them to place into the soup.  When it is done, I pour a bowl of hot soup and hand it to the waiter


Who am I? How do you know?


2. I sat in my seat excitedly watching the man swing from pole to pole.  Far under him 2 elephants carried ladies with feathers in their hair. I ate my popcorn as I watched 8 clowns pile out of a tiny car.


Where am I? How do you know? 


3. We ran from hay bale to hay bale trying not to step on any cow pies. Uncle Joe picked us up with his tractor and gave us some fresh milk to drink. We helped with the garden and fed the chickens.  


Where am I? How do you know?
