Drawing Conclusions

• Authors don’t always come right out and tell you everything in a story.

• Sometimes you are given clues. Like a detective, you have to use the words and pictures to figure out the story!

based on what you already know or on the facts and details in a text.

•  Check an author’s conclusions or your     own conclusions by asking: Is this the

only logical choice? Are the facts accurate?
