Hairy Giants

Kia ora Bloggers, This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something. An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference.
For example, when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair nets and this is required in all food factories. The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl. Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

 I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.

 Have you read The Twits before? Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters? See you next time!

    Kia ora Ankit,

    It is really great to be able to see your google drawing that you made. I liked the way you used examples directly from the text to support your inference. I wonder if you need to give some more ideas around why you think that? For example you wrote that Mr Twit is hairy because he is a twit but I think we need a bit more to help us understand why you think that.

    Your example of good hygiene is very clear.

    Thank you for sharing and writing a quality blog post.
