Reading | Inferring | Fact or Opinion

I learnt about fact and opinion. For this activity, we used inferring and prior knowledge to make facts and opinions.

First, we discussed what facts and opinions were. A fact is something that a character did, and opinions are why we think the character did that.

We then came up with facts and opinions all four main characters in the gruffalo story. The opinions are keywords. We used inferring to find out the opinions and our prior knowledge to find facts.

After that, we did character traits for the four main characters. The character traits include who the character is and described two characteristics of a character (including an example of that characteristic). Character traits also summarise the information.

From doing this activity, I understand that inferring uses clues, keywords or phrases from a text to find out more information that wasnt stated or explained.

LI: to infer.
