This slideshow discusses making inferences from pictures by explaining that inferences involve making assumptions about what is happening based on evidence from the picture alone. It prompts viewers to look at 6 pictures and make inferences about what is occurring in each, then provides the inferred answers which are: two guys arguing, a mom blowing her nose, someone just buying a new car, the last day of school, a dog feeling guilty for eating cat treats, and a woman winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

1. Inference Slideshow:
What is going on in the

would be a prediction!
Must be based on evidence from the “text” (picture)
Have fun!
