The document provides steps for making inferences from fiction and nonfiction texts. It explains that in fiction one can infer character traits based on character actions, dialogue, and relationships presented in the text. For nonfiction, one can infer additional information beyond what is explicitly stated by identifying facts presented and searching the text for evidence to support inferences related to those facts. The document demonstrates this process with examples for both fiction and nonfiction, highlighting key inferences that can be made and evidence from the text to support those inferences. It aims to teach close reading and critical thinking skills for drawing meaningful conclusions between what is directly stated versus implied in different text types.
