Making inferences (definition, strategies, exercises)Javier Cárdenas
The document discusses making inferences when reading. It provides examples of inferring characters' feelings, motives, and the author's purpose. Readers must combine the written information with their own life experiences to infer deeper meaning. The document contains scenarios where the reader must infer details that are not explicitly stated, such as inferring a man is angry from his shouting or that someone was killed from seeing a bloody knife. It emphasizes that readers should view a text as a "word picture" and infer details about the setting, characters' personalities and emotions, and characters' motives from clues provided.
This was a slide show I created to teach my classmates about sentence fragments. The sources I used are included in the slide show so that anyone may look and learn from these in a more in-depth manner if they choose to.
NARRATIVE WRITING relates a clear sequence of events that occurs over time. Both what happens and the order in which the events occur are communicated to the reader. Effective narration requires a writer to give a clear sequence of events (fictional or non-fictional) and to provide elaboration.
This document provides guidance on writing an essay to convince others of an opinion. It recommends choosing a clear purpose and intended audience. The introduction should capture attention with a hook, then state the thesis. Main points should be presented in paragraphs with topic sentences and supporting examples. Transitions should link arguments. A conclusion should restate the thesis and leave the reader thinking with a memorable final sentence.

The document discusses the difference between similes and metaphors. It states that a simile directly compares two things using "as" or "like", while a metaphor also compares two things but does so directly without using "as" or "like". Examples of each are provided. The document then presents several phrases and asks the reader to identify each as a simile or metaphor. It concludes by challenging the reader to write a poem about a hobby using at least one of each.
The document discusses discourse markers, which are words like "however" and "although" that are used to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs. It provides examples of common discourse markers used to indicate relationships like addition, contrast, concession, and conditions. It also explains that discourse markers can be used at the start of sentences or clauses separated by semicolons. Paragraphs are similarly linked using discourse markers to show reinforcement, contrast, or concession between ideas.
The document discusses paraphrasing, summarizing, and provides examples of each:
- Paraphrasing is restating a text in your own words to show you understand the meaning, while summarizing reduces the text and focuses only on the key points and most important ideas.
- An example paraphrases how newborn kangaroos crawl into their mother's pouch after birth and stay there nursing until 8 months old.
- A summary of tiger sharks notes that they will eat just about anything using their senses of sight and smell to hunt, and their sharp teeth and strong jaws help break shells and bones, making them more aggressive than great white sharks after biting.
This document discusses point of view in narratives. There are three main points of view: first person, second person, and third person. First person uses pronouns like I and me, and the narrator is a character in the story. Second person puts the reader directly in the story using you. Third person uses pronouns like he, she and their names, and can be omniscient, limited to certain characters, or purely objective without knowing thoughts. The examples help illustrate the different types of point of view.
The document provides an overview of how to write a concise summary. It defines a summary as a shortened passage that retains the essential information of the original in the writer's own words. It lists the key characteristics of a good summary as being understandable without reference to the original, faithfully reproducing only the original ideas, and being brief without unnecessary details. The document outlines techniques for writing summaries, such as paraphrasing the original text in one's own words, condensing details, and finding the topic sentence and main ideas to create an outline. It describes the steps to write a summary as reading the original carefully, understanding the central ideas, writing one-sentence summaries of each section, forming a thesis statement, and drafting and
The document discusses different patterns of text organization, including cause and effect, compare and contrast, problem and solution, sequential, and description. It provides examples of each pattern and tips for identifying them. Readers are asked to read passages and determine the pattern of organization used in each one. The patterns are then defined to help with identification.
The document outlines the five main steps of the writing process: pre-writing, planning and organizing, drafting, revising and editing, and producing a final draft. In pre-writing, a writer chooses a topic, brainstorms ideas, and focuses on central ideas. The second step involves creating an outline to organize ideas. In drafting, the writer develops and supports the outlined ideas in a rough draft without worrying about perfection. Revising and editing involves improving content, organization, spelling, grammar and punctuation. The last step is submitting the final, polished draft for evaluation.
Paraphrasing is a restatement of the meaning of a text using other words (instead of original words) Summarizing means taking the main ideas from a text and rewriting them in your own words in a brief manner.
This document discusses three types of irony: verbal, dramatic, and situational. Verbal irony involves saying something that means the opposite. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something a character does not. Situational irony involves an unexpected situation that contradicts what was expected.

Infinitives can be used as subjects, direct objects, objects of prepositions when functioning as nouns. When used as adjectives, infinitives modify nouns and when used as adverbs, they modify verbs or adjectives. Infinitive phrases can also function as nouns or adjectives. Infinitives should not be confused with prepositional phrases which are "to" plus a noun or pronoun.
A descriptive essay aims to describe a person, place, or object through vivid details that appeal to the reader's senses. It should choose a specific topic and include extensive sensory descriptions to help readers experience the topic.

Ancient Egypt developed one of the earliest civilizations along the Nile River valley due to the river's predictable flooding and irrigation. The pharaoh ruled as both political and religious leader, overseeing the construction of temples, laws, taxation, and organized labor. Egyptian society was highly stratified with the pharaoh and nobility at the top and farmers, artisans, and laborers at the bottom. Egyptians developed hieroglyphic writing, built massive pyramids and temples, and practiced mummification as part of their belief in an afterlife. Mathematics and astronomy were also important to ancient Egyptian civilization.
Egyptians used art to document their human experiences, such as through paintings and hieroglyphs. Today, photography is a popular method of documentation. Ancient Egyptians began settling along the Nile River around 10,000 years ago, establishing cities like in Egypt. They farmed along the fertile river banks and were protected by the desert, allowing civilization to develop. Egyptian art featured symbolic elements like the ankh, scarab beetle, Eye of Horus, and lotus flower to represent important concepts. Mythical figures like Osiris and the sphinx held religious and cultural significance. Pyramids evolved from earlier mastaba tombs to become the iconic burial structures for pharaohs.
Question 1, 141. In your own words explain how the deity Horus b.docxIRESH3
Question 1, 14
1. In your own words explain how the deity Horus became the king of Egypt and Osiris became king of the underworld.
Set tricked Osiris into getting into a box, which he then locked, and had sealed with lead, then he threw it into the Nile River (sarcophagi were based on the box in this myth). Now Osiris' wife, Isis, looked for his remains until she found them rooted in the trunk of a tree, it so happen that the trunk of the tree was holding up the roof of a palace in Byblos on the Phoenician coast. Isis is said to have remove the coffin and open it, but found Osiris already dead. Isis casted a spell she had learned from her father that brought Osiris back to life so he could impregnate her. Isis became pregnant and Osiris died again, so she hid his body in the desert.
Some months later, she gave birth to Horus. While she was off raising Horus, Set had been out hunting one night, he came across the body of Osiris. Infuriated, he ripped the body of Osiris into fourteen pieces and spread them throughout the land. Isis found out and went and gathered up all the pieces of the body, less the phallus which had been eaten by a fish thereafter considered taboo by the Egyptians, and bandaged them together for a proper burial. The gods were impressed by her loyalty and thus resurrected Osiris as the god of the underworld.
Now Set was thought to have been gay, Set is described as trying to show his authority, by seducing Horus (by using the line how lovely your backside is) and then having femoral intercourse with him, in which Set takes the lead role. However, Horus put his hand down between his thighs and catches Set's semen, then cut his hand off, throwing it in the river, so it would not be said to have been inseminated by Set.
Now, Horus covertly masturbates, and intentionally spreads his semen on some lettuce, which was Set's favorite food (now the Egyptians thought that the lettuce was phallic, because Egyptian lettuce was hard, long, and seeped a milk like substance when rubbed). After Set has eaten the lettuce, both of them go to the gods to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt. The god’s begin by listen to Set's claim of authority over Horus, and they call Horus semen forth, but the answers from the river, nullifying his claim. Lastly the gods listen to Horus' claim of having authority over Set, and so they call his semen forth, and the answers came from inside Set. As the result, Horus is declared the king of Egypt.

Egypt depends on the Nile River for agriculture and was historically an exporter of food. Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife and would bury deceased pharaohs along with their possessions. Archaeologists have uncovered artifacts from pharaohs like Akhenaten and Tutankhamun. Egyptians viewed the pharaoh as a god and had many other gods depicted with human bodies and animal heads. The Israelites lived peacefully in Egypt but were later enslaved under a new pharaoh until Moses led them to freedom.
ART1204 Architecture of the Afterlife: Embalming & Tombs in Ancient EgyptProfWillAdams
The document summarizes the ancient Egyptian process of mummification. The goal of mummification was to preserve the body so the spirit could recognize it in the afterlife. The 70-day process involved removing internal organs, dehydrating the body with natron salt, and wrapping it in linen bandages. Organs were placed in canopic jars and stored with the mummified body in the tomb. The Egyptians believed all parts would be reunited in the afterlife, as with their god Osiris who was restored after being murdered.

This PowerPoint details specific techniques to target when revising rough drafts. Personal writing should evoke emotional responses and make readers feel connected to the author. This can be done through thoughtful, well-developed snapshots, appropriate thought shots. as well as the use of dialogue. Examples are provided that show just how powerful these revisions can be when added to one’s rough draft.
Punctuating dialogue can be confusing. Writers are encouraged to quote exact words in fictional writing, personal writing, and other genres too. Nonetheless, that does not mean that the rule for when to use a capital letter and other punctuation marks is clear. This PowerPoint provides a number of examples relevant to the punctuation of dialogue. The simple explanations combined with the examples will get students on the right track to having characters conversing on paper to evoke emotional responses from their readers. After all, stating someone’s exact words is a lot more meaningful than just casually telling what was said.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Editor's Notes
You may want to highlight the words, re-writing, clarify and shorten and keeps. These seem like keys words in the definition.
Great graphic! Again, I would use highlights.
Check the comma and the capital S after it. IS that correct?
I like the noise that you added here for the paraphrased passage. Could you do that for the others?
I think that some commas are needed in the paragraph. The use of color for the best is an effective strategy. But the heading could read - the purple one is best. So the reader does not have to guess. Also in these two practice slides the sentences are quite long, I am wondering if shorter sentences would be helpful to the students. Also, when you create the lesson plans, I think it would be good if students had copies of the text so that they could practice the highlighting. We’ll do this on Tuesday when we return.
