10. You can make an inference by putting together the
clues from what your read, see, or hear and your
background knowledge and experience. Moreover,
your inference must be supported by evidence found
in the in the reading text, the image, or the situation.
IN SUMMARY

13. Going back to the article “The Creation of Discontent,” make your own inferences
about the issues discussed in the article and list down the evidence and background
knowledge that helped you in inferring, just like the example on the previous slide.

SKILL PRACTICE 1

14. Predicting outcomes means making a guess about what is
going to happen. However, you don’t simply guess what
might happen. You should consider all the events and
information and analyze them logically before predicting
what will happen next. To predict outcomes, you must
look for the reason for actions, find implied meaning,
distinguish fact from opinion, and compare prior
knowledge to the text being read. In short, you make
predictions based on textual evidence and background
knowledge.
