Hello, there you go. How are you? Okay, we go, Yeah, I'm good. Good. How have we done our homework? Oh Yeah, because this two days, because we have the school concert and we need to like practice. So though we haven't had time, okay, that's fine. No worries. Maybe I can do the after this class. Yeah, that's fine. Don't worry about it. Don't worry. It's okay. Understand? It's a busy time of year, isn't it? Okay, let's have a look at what we're doing today. So last lesson, we obviously had a look at vocabulary skills, didn't we? With reading comprehension today, we're going to be looking at inference skills. Have you heard of inference before? No, so that's fine. I learn all about it today. Inference can be one of the hardest reading skills to use, because it involves a lot of your own thinking. You have to kind of read between the lines to find the answers. You can't just find the answer in the text. It involves you kind of thinking a bit deeper than that. So it says inferences infercigy, so we can make inferences from the text to explain and justify inferences with evidence. So he is there to help you to pick up ideas from the text that are not always written in the text itself. So he helps you to do this by getting you to read the text as if you are looking for what is there, you're looking for what is meant by it. So the kind of questions that we'll get are things like getting multiple options, you know multiple choice questions. You might lots of questions that start with the five W's and hate, like who, what, where, when, why, and how. Again, finding three different clues, multiple answers and extended responses. These are very common in a test to kind of give your opinion and explain why. So an inference we can infer, you will make inferences all the time in your daily life, Jack. You just won't realize that you're doing it. So an example of an inference to be something like in the text, or you might get a question like, how does the girl feel? Okay. And the text won't just say she, the girl feels sad. It won't tell us that we'll all have to look at clues. The text might instead say something like, the girl had tears running down her face. A girl, her tears running down her face, that might be in the text. This would be a really good clue to tell us how the girl is feeling. How do you think this girl would be feeling? So sad, why do you think sad? Because the trunning down her face is she's is crying. So Yeah, exactly. So even though it doesn't tell us that she is sad, we can work out, we can infer that she is sad because of this flu, that she's crying. She's got tears down running down her face. What you've just done there, Jack, is you've just made an inference. Yeah we don't know exactly, but we can make a really good guess. Yeah, that's what an inference is. So we can hang on. I'm going to get a couple of examples using some pictures. So we can make inferences from anything, really. Like I say, you know, you would create inferences in your daily life. You know, you might be able to infer that your teacher is in a bad mood today because she's shouting at everyone and she seems, you know, she's talking loudly and she's not laughing. You know, you would make an inference. All my teachis having a stressful day today, she hasn't told you that. You don't know that for sure. It's a guess. It's like those are the things that we do in our lives. So we can also infer from a picture like this. So here we have this picture, Jack, and it says, which country do you think this photograph was taken? So we again, we will not know this. We can just infer. So what do you think. So looking at the people's face, maybe it's English people that is not Japan or China. Yeah, good. And they have got, most of them have got White colof skin, haven't they? You know so probably not going to be somewhere like India or Africa or you know something like that. What can you tell me about the climate? So that means like the weather in this place. It's like a. Mara kid, the weather so what is what does the weather look like? Oh, the. Cold. How do you know it's cold? Because most people are are wearing the very, very many clothes. Yes, we've got big coats on, haven't we? Scarfs and hats and gloves and boots. That that gives us a clue that it's obviously cold here. Yeah, again, we're not in this picture, are we, Jack? We don't know that it's cold. We can't feel it. No one's told us that, but the clues are that it's cold from what people are wearing. Good, we can see the sky looks quite gray as well, doesn't it? Doesn't look like a Sunny blue side day either, does it? Okay. What building can we see in the center of this picture? So like this building here. It's like a house market. Market. Yeah, we've got a market. Haven't we? Like a market stand there? Good. And what celebration like what holiday do you think might be coming up soon? I is. On vacation or something. Yeah. It's one that's that like use some clues. Do you think there might be like a festival or a holiday or a celebration that might be coming up soon? I seen this. So it's winter, so maybe it's Christmas or Yeah Yeah okay. So because it's winter time, that gives us a clue. It's fristless than it. And in Europe, so in England, in in places in Europe, we often have markets at Christmas time as well. That's quite normal for us. So that would help us with that clue. But what else can you see that people are doing? People or buying this? Yes, buying things. So what do you think they're they might be buying if it's winter time and maybe new Christmas, perhaps they're buying what. They buthe. Omas tree or chocolate or something else. Yeah things to do with Christmas and maybe they're buying presents. Yeah gifts. Because at Christmas we give people presents and gifts. So they could be buying those, they could be buying food, you know for the Christmas dinner. But we can see that people are shopping, can't we? So that gives us quite a big clue that this would be Christmas, isn't it? Yeah, okay, really good. Well done. So those are the kind of inferences that we would be making with a written text. It's because that that one was on a picture, but we would do the same thing in a text. So we will have a go, and we're going to have a go with this here. Oh, it was pleasunny day and matpush. Violet gently on the swing she scored happily as it went back and forth. After a while, mountains began to get bored. He rolled off towards the big slide. We could see. I struggled to get off the swing, and begin told her way towards the slide. Matches was already zooming down. Violet had just reached the bottom of the the slide. One mattes ran forward and the claclimbing front multy multivate for me. She shoushe tried to catch up with him. Mars scrambled his way up the climbing Brown frame like a monkey killing a tree, while managed to reach up to the first round, but couldn't manage to get her leg to reach. She sat down on the ground and began to crry, okay, good. So what we're going to do is we're going to complete steps to form an inference answer, because most of the time, with inference questions, jyou have to use evidence from the text. So we're just going to practice sort of making those, you know structuring an answer step by step. We're going to give our answer, then give the clues and then put it all together. But usually you would just do this stage. You know you would only do the last stage. It's just we're practicing first. So I'll put this on board. So we can see the text still. So the first question Jack asks you, where are Violet and Matisse? So where do you think that they are? During the. Playground good, so you can just write playground in here for me. Might be easier for you to type e it Jack, if if you have if you're on a computer Yeah itbe easier to do that. Good. Okay. So the only thing is that weprobably put a the or A A playground. Yeah. Okay. Good. So what clues did you find that told you that they're were in a playground? How did you come up with that inference? Because the slide. Okay, so slide what else? What is it? A swing? A swing. Good. Anything else? Climbing frame, climbing frame perfect. So swing slide and climbing frame, those are all things that you find in a playground, aren't they? So it makes sense that those are the clues. Swing slide. And frame. Okay. So now we put it all together. When we put it all together, Jack, we want an answer that's kind of more structured. So like this, I think but I think. Vila and Matisse are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, because in the text it says. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. So that's how we want to kind of structure it. Obviously, you fill in the gaps though with your answers that you've said here. You so you write in here your full answer. So give your answer and your clues. So in this kind of structure, Jack, we can't just say a playground swing, slide, climbing frame, Yeah we need to structure it so that it makes sense as a sentence. Yeah. Good, just check your settings. For me, climbing doesn't happen either. So there shouldn't be an e in climbing it, just cll I B. Good. And don't forget your capital letters as well. Yeah so at the start I so I know it just a cliplay frame a playground sorry, because I can see. Sing swings, line and climaframe. Yes, that's fine. So as long as you give your evidence that backs up your your pyour idea in good. Okay, well done. So now we've got another question. The question asks, who do you think is older, Matisse or Violet? People. So who do you think is older, as in, who do you think is older in their age, fatise or Violet from the same text? Oh, they friend. No, right. The the question is, who do you think is older? So we've got 22 people. We've got Matisse and Violet. Who do you think is older? Mattimatisse. Okay. So you write that as your answer. What blues tell you that Matisse is older? Because so Violet is playing the swing and so my teeth is pushing them. So normally is the older people pushing the the the like the sister, younger sister or. Yeah, okay. And what how is Violet behaving? What kind of words can we find that just describe what Violet is doing? A dispushed oet gently on the. Yeah but what about her? What is she doing? Like it says so. It tells us what Matisse is doing. Like he's pushing her, but that doesn't necessarily tell us that he's older than her. You know, like I could push someone who's older than me on a swing. I could. What else is there? We need more clues here. More so not just she pushed pushed Violet. What else can you find? After a while, matgot. Where does it say that? I know. Maybe. Also at the end, the bullet sat down on the ground and began to cry. Yes, so she's sort of, she's crcouldn't, she couldn't reach the client that the monkey bars the climbing frame. She couldn't manage to get her leg to reach. That tells us she's quite small. You know she's trying to catch up with Matisse. You know she's poddling her way towards him, which is kind of like a way that a child would run. So all of these are clues that tell us that Matisse is older than her. Oh, I'll. Because. My teeth is older because. Yeah Hey. So Matisse is older because he pushed Violet on the swing Genne, and in the end, Violet sat on the ground and cried, sat on the ground. And well, it says, began to pry. Yeah. So well, that would be your full answer. You've got the reason. So in here, in this part, all we need is the reason. So just that, bit like that, but you've already given the file. So that's really good. That's great. That shows that we're confident with this now. So you can give you reason and you say, you know how you know that as your reason? Excellent. Let's have a go at another text then let's have a go at this one. So you read for me, Jack here. As Rory walked up his path, he flew some, something was wrong. The curtain in the front removes hang in line, please implied with ribs all the way through beyond the curtains, lorcould see the scene of destruction. Lights were lying on the ground, the rock was wrecked and there is space of ornaments strewn over the carpet. Rostomach rushed as he rush towards in the front door, puting for his. He unlocked the door and rushed inside the devstation continued the door to the kitchen, which surely was sure he had closed before going to work, was sopen and had scratch mark halfway up, slowly closed his eyes and clenched his fist all the way up the stairs were mounted to bridge Rory stormed up the stairs throthe prince and shoved the door to his bedroom, opened the birthing sitting in the middle of the brims at the bed. Clothset with White fluffy ty looking dogs, angels. But I'll just say I'll put this on the board so you can see this as we answer the questions. So I'm going to see if we can just do let's just do the. Final answer for each one. Yeah. So give your reason and your evidence straight away. So we've got two questions. So the first one, who or what has caused the destruction in ry's house? I think it's a dog. Yes, the dog. What's the dog's name? Angus. So it's Angus the dog and what's your clues? English. White for gentle 20 this says guilty. Do you know what guilty means? No, if somebody is guilty, it means that they have been found to have done something which they shouldn't have done something bad. So it says that he's guilty looking. So what that means is Angus is look looking like he was the one who did this. Yeah. So that's quite a big clue, isn't it? So that would be your clue. So sitting in the middle of the remains of the bed clothes, you know he was even sat amongst all of this stuff. Yeah. And although I think there's also. There's scratch Marks, which only really a dog would do, muddy little prints. So you can see his paw prints, you know, like this on the stairs, muddy paw prints. So there's lots of clues that it's the dog, isn't it? 嗯。Can you write your answer for me up here? Instead, this one. What do you mean by this one? So you need to so for this one, Jack, you need to give your answer and your clues straight away. It's mess mess ess not. Yeah. Okay okay, the dog so don't forget your capital letters, Angus cause this mess because we can see the muddy little prints, comma scratch Marks. Oh, if it's just those two things, then it's and we can see the mulittle prints and scratch Marks which. Which how could we word this? Which are what a dog would do something like that. Okay, good, right. The next question asks, how does Rory feel? 嗯。First. Or he froze. That just means he stopped. He stopped moving. That's not a feeling. Have another little look and see what you can see. Remember a Jack, it's an inference. It's not going to tell us exactly how he feels. You need to look at the clues that tell us how he feels. Nervous, okay, why would you think he feels nervous? Because he closed the door when he went outside, but the door is open now. I think there's better parts that tell us about how he feels. So have another look and see what we can find. It tells us about his feelings. Think about his body language, like how his body is reacting might tell us about his feelings. You know what we talked about, the girl with the tears, what's he what's his actions that might tell us about his feelings? Scare. Well, but what clues can you find that tell you that? No. 呃。Large. Yeah his stomach, lurch, it's like his tummy is going like you know when you feel really nervous and you can feel it in your tummy. Yeah. What else? There's something else down here. Can you see anything else? Close his eyes and clench his fist. Close his eyes and clenched his fist. He's closed his eyes and his fists are doing this, Jack. They're squeezing together. What might that tell you how he's feeling at that point? He's like this. It's so close his eyes. Yeah he's closed his eyes and he's doing this with his fist. Jack, this is his hat. Your fist is splinting his fist like that. He's squeezing his hands really tight like that. So nervous nerves may be angry as well. And the fact it's as he stormed up the stairs means he's not just walking up the stairs. He's going you know storming up the stairs very fast and Yeah very angry. So here I think he's quite nervous. Like you're saying, his stomach's lurching and he's rushing towards the front door. So he's nervous here. And then he gets more angry as he sees what's kind of happened. Yeah, you can talk about both of those things in your answer. It would be a good answer if you were to say that that you notice both. So I can write here. Yeah, you can write it. I'm just going to quickly go and get my charger whilst you're doing that. He was angry because I see that his stomach Funch, rutowards the front door, closed his eyes and clench his fist. Yes, that's fine. Good. Just don't forget. So because I see that his stomach clurch, he rushed towards the front door, closed his eyes and clenched his fist and stormed up the stairs. Okay, very good. Well done. Okay, we've got one more passage to read. You've got ten minutes left, so you can probably finish this passage in questions. Okay, you want to read it for me? The leaves will. Boering from the trees as Sunday walked along the path, the days were getting shorter, and there were small boom fires in the air. The sound of snapping twins off the past to left made her freeze. Someone or something was there very quietly. She turned to look at the bushes beside her. Carefully she scrched down. At the bottom of one of the bushes was a pair of Brown eyes standing for a long moment the two stared at each other. Oh, it's you again. She breathe. Then the ice disaeared and awesome Sunday with the sweof, the tail and four pes pting away. Okay. And we've got three questions. First patient asks, what time of year is it? Remember to give you evidence as well. What? Is Europe Yeah what time of year means? Like you know like what season is it? Quarter. To that again. A four because the leaves were falling from the trees. Yes. So we winter, autumn or you can also call it all autumn or fall Yeah. You want to write your answer for me? O. So let's just call it autumn. Autumn Yeah and then give your clues as to why you know that. Yeah. Good. Because the leaves were falling. Good. Next one. Is this the first time Sunday has met this someone or something? No, because the story says she admitted second time. Yes, how do we know that? What's the clue that tells us? It says, like for a long moment, the two start at each other. Oh, it's you again. She breathes, isn't it? Yeah, it's you again. You wouldn't say that if you, it was the first time you've met them. Would, would you wouldn't make sense. Good. Okay. So what your answer for me that can be last one to do today, I think probably won't have time for this one. The second time, second, the e missing there because the story says for a long moment, the two said each other Sunday says, Oh, it's you again. Yeah good. So you could probably go on to explain, add a little bit more here to say the fact she says again, tells us this is not the first time they have met. Yeah, you could probably reexplain just a little bit more as to how that evidence explains, but we'll practice that more as we go. Okay, well done, Jack. Really good work today. Yeah, a lot of writing you've done now on those inference questions and definitely improved as we went for homework. I'm going to give you. A text to have a go with some questions. Which one would you rather do? Would you rather do an unexpected guest or the magic city? Magic city magic city okay. Okay, right, I'll set that outside the lesson Jack, because I need to go into my next class now, but I'll see you next week here. Next week is our last lesson before the Christmas break. Obviously try and get last week's homework done for me, but don't worry if you're too busy to do both homeworks. Yeah, I understand that you've got a lot on. Thank you very much, Jack. Great work today. I'll see you next week. Okay, bye bye bye.
