Making Inferences in Expository Text: Test Prep *Freebie! - Buzzing with Ms. B
When it comes to making inferences, the test is likely asking them to do two different things. They need to: 1. Use evidence from the text to make an inference. OR 2. Locate evidence from the text to support an inference that has already been made.For example, in the question, “Based on the details in paragraph 4, the reader can conclude…” is asking students to use the evidence in paragraph four to create a conclusion. This means that the right answer will not be directly stated in the text.
Reading Genre Anchor Chart
To create the chart, we wanted to pass out a variety of texts that are either fiction, poetry, or expository. We have previously taught the genres of fiction and poetry, but expository text is something new for our kids (as a genre of reading). Students will identify the genre of each text and then use it to review the characteristics of fiction and poetry. The teacher will create a chart from the students’ background knowledge.
