ASSIGNMENT 6: Making Inferences
|
Learning Target (Curricular Competencies):
|
Writers use inference in their text to make their writing more interesting. It's not necessary to tell the reader every detail. Good readers make inferences, or conclusions, as they read. It's an important skill for understanding text, as authors often imply themes and ideas, without stating them outright. Instead, writers let readers draw their own conclusions about what is happening.
Look at the picture below. Who is this woman? What has happened to her?
Task:
Write a narrative paragraph telling a story of what is happening in the picture. You need to infer what is happening in the picture and form your own conclusion. Make sure you read the next page that summarizes narrative writing. Your paragraph should follow a standard plot outline that includes an introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and conclusion (denouement). This is just a paragraph remember, so the story will be brief.
Assessment: Below you will find the exemplary criteria used to assess the assignment.
Learning Target: (Exemplary 6/6): Exemplary comprehension of the task and clear accomplishment of the objective. Paragraph tells a story inferred from the picture, including all parts of the plot.
