Original Promptadd scaffolds and a short assignment about inferences
This document explores the concept of inference as a critical reading skill in literature, particularly tailored for English 10 students. It introduces the 'Inference Formula,' which combines evidence from the text with personal schema (or prior knowledge) to make educated guesses about a character's thoughts, feelings, or future actions. Utilizing various scenarios, such as Sarah's interactions and mood, students learn to analyze text cues to draw conclusions not explicitly stated by the author. The document also differentiates between observation (what is seen) and inference (interpretation of observations) and includes practice activities to enhance students' inference-making skills.
