Realistic Fiction

6. Learning to draw or give conclusions is a skill
that develops over time. It is an important skill for
readers to learn because it encourages them to
pay attention to what they are reading, use what
they know from life experiences, and look at the
details and facts in the text as clues that will help
them draw conclusions about what is meant but
not explicitly stated.

7. In this lesson, you will learn to develop
your skills in giving conclusions to realistic
fictions.

8. •A conclusion is a statement a reader makes after
reading a passage in the story.
•To draw a conclusion, one can use the story clues
(what you read in the text) and your own
experience (what you already know) to figure out
things that were not fully explained in a story. The
selection or story does not really say the answers to
the questions, but you can conclude the answers
from what you read.

9. For us to remember, we can use the
addition sentence:
Story clues
+ What I know
Conclusion

10. •What do you think will happen if:
•A. it wouldn’t rain for several days
•B. you will not study diligently

11. •Were you able to answer the questions? If yes, then, you just gave a conclusion.
Let us analyze using the examples below.
•If it wouldn’t rain for several days, plants will die.
•(Based on the given clue, on the first part of the sentence, one can conclude that
if it didn’t rain for several days, plants will die.)
•If you will not study diligently, you will get low grades.
•(Based on the given clue, on the first part of the sentence, one can conclude that
if you will not study diligently, you will get low grades.)

12. •A. If you see an empty plate of cookies and then you
see a toddler with crumbs on his face,
• you can give a conclusion that he ate the cookies
even though you did not see him do it.

13. •In the text, first you have to read the passage
because that’s where the clues are.
•Next, you have to search for clues like the
crumbs on the toddler’s face or what you can
directly see or in the case of a text, what the
author directly tells you.
• Lastly, using logic, reasoning and prior
knowledge, you can already give or draw a
conclusion.

14. •Lyle was excited as she looked outside
her window. Dark clouds had blocked
out the sun. A strong wind was blowing
through the trees. She heard thunder off
in the distance.
