2. What is Inferrence?
It is just big word that means a
conclusion or judgement.

3. Separating Facts from Inferrence
In many kinds of writing, the author
presents facts about a situation or topic
and also makes inferences from those
facts.

4.  Facts are statements of information that can be verified.
For example:
• Chile is considered one of the most conservative Catholic
countries in South America.
• On January 15, 2006, Chileans elected their first woman
president, the Socialist Michelle Bachelet, with 53.5 percent
of their votes.
• She is a former defense minister, a doctor, a single mother
and a non-Catholic.
• Her father, a general in the army, was killed in 1973 under the
military dictatorship of Pinochet.
• Her election campaign was based on promises of social and
economic reform aimed at more equality.

5.  Inferences are educated guesses that are based on facts.
For example:
• People in Chile are not as conservative as generally thought.
• People in Chile want changes in their society and economy.
• President Bachelet's background and experience should help
her understand the problems in Chile.
• The fact that her father was killed under Pinochet probably
raised her standing among leftists.

6. Making Inferrence in Fiction
Some strategies to make inferrence in fiction
We have to have the following questions to make inference:
• What does the setting tell me about the characters?
• What do the character’s inner thoughts and conversations
reveal about him or her?
• What do the characters’ actions and decisions show?
• How does the author signal that characters’ attitudes may be
changing?
• What big ideas is the author trying to help me discover but
never actually states in words?
