This powerpoint covers the reading strategy of drawing conclusions. It explains that drawing conclusions involves using details from a story to understand elements that are not explicitly stated, similar to making inferences while watching a show. It provides an example passage where the reader must conclude that Daniel is waiting at an airport gate to board a flight, suggesting he is traveling by plane to a location where Spanish will be useful. The document instructs readers to look for clues authors provide and complete a worksheet to practice this strategy.
Drawing Conclusions R.S
- 1. Reading Strategies This power point covers the first reading strategy we will cover in my class.
- 2. Drawing Conclusions Authors do not always tell everything about the characters and events in a story. Sometime readers must put together story details to come to an understanding on their own. This is called Drawing Conclusions. **Think about when you are watching a television show or movie. You make inferences about where it is taking place as well as inferences about the characters- who is a "bad guy", who is a "good guy."
- 3. Example Read the following passage: Daniel listened to some of his Spanish tapes while he waited at the gates. “These could come in handy soon,” he thought as he boarded the flight.
- 4. What Conclusions Can You Draw? Where might Daniel be going? How might he get there? This information is not outright stated- you must figure it out from the information that the author gives you. You must Draw a Conclusion.
- 5. How Do I Do This? Look for the clues that the author give you. For example, “waited at the gate and boarded the plane” are clues that Daniel is traveling by plane. “Spanish tapes and could come in handy soon” are clues that he is going somewhere where Spanish is spoken.
