The Twits, Inference???

Kia ora Bloggers,

This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something.  

An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and 
add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference.  
For example,  when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that 
this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair 
nets and this is required in all food factories.
What’s going on in this picture? Look closely at the image above or view it in a <a href="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/04/17/learning/VTS04-20-20LN/VTS04-20-20LN-superJumbo.jpg">larger size</a>, then tell us what you see by posting a comment. On Thursday afternoon, we will reveal more about the image and its origins at the bottom of this post.

The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.
Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.  

Have you read The Twits before?  Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?

See you next time!

  1. Hi Sophia! Yes I have read the twits and I think your inferences are great and I agree with them! I love the different colours you used for your inferences! I don't think that I'm that good at making inferences, I probably just need a bit of practise! Maybe next time you could try make your inferences a bit bigger?
    Love it! Soph :)

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something helpful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
