Making inferences and prediction

Tuesday, 21^st February 2012

Today, Miss Zu had teach us how to make inference and make prediction.

Making Inferences - To make an inference or infer is often described as "reading between the lines." This is clearly not an adequate definition for our primary readers. Making an inference involves using background knowledge combined with information from the text and illustrations to draw conclusions about what is implied but not directly stated.

Making Prediction - Prediction defined as a strategy in which readers use what they already know to anticipate and prepare for what is coming next. The effective readers make predictions before, during, and after reading.

As usual, Miss Zu had prepared a game for us. It something like detective game. We must find a murderer, the place that a murder killed the victim and the weapon that a murderer used. Miss Zu gave us a card then we must find the clue by ourselves. For me, the game was interesting. 

Another activity was we need to see some video clip then Miss Zu will stop the video at the certain part and we must predict what happens next. We did this activity by group. My group’s member was Aira, Hanis, Niena and Megat. There have a few video that my members already see so we can answer it very well. Hehe. Guess what? My group won! :D

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
