Objective: By the end of class, students will understand inferencing in order to improve reading comprehensive skills.
DO NOW
Copy the following into your notebooks.
To Infer (to make an inference) - to make an educated guess based on evidence.
The difference between an inference and a prediction is that a prediction refers to something that may happen in the future, and can ultimately (in the end) be proven right or wrong. An inference is trying to figure out what is going on at the current moment and can't really be proved.
When you infer what is happening, it is easier to make a prediction about what will happen next!
