Identifying Implicitly and Explicitly Stated Information

Do Now:Write todays objective: By the end of the lesson students will be able to use textual evidence in an article to support the analysis of what is explicitly stated in the text versus what is implicitly stated in the text. Number your paper from 1-4. You will view 4 photos, observe 2 things about each photo, record your observations.

Do-Now Observe 2 things about each photo, record your observations.1.2.3.4.

Do-Now 1. What color is sponge Bobs tie?How many fingers is Lady Gaga holding up?What kind of shirt does Justin Bieber have on?What color is Rihannas hair?

EXPLICIT VS. IMPLICIT (MAKE A T-CHART)EXPLICIT- in the textIMPLICITY In My head

Explicit InformationExplicit information is any idea that is stated.With explicit information, you see the text explained!Since you are looking for explicit information in what is read, the explicit information will be written in the text. There is no need to look for clues. Just read. If the information is written it is explicit.

Lets practice!All living things are made up of cells. Since humans are alive, we are also made of cells. Cells make our body tissue. Tissue makes our body organs. Organs make our body systems. Cells are the building blocks of our bodies.Here are 2 explicit questions to answer:What are made of cells?What is the main idea of the article?

Heres The Answer!All living things are made up of cells. Since humans are alive, we are also made of cells. Cells make our body tissue. Tissue makes our body organs. Organs make our body systems. Cells are the building blocks of our bodies.Here are 2 explicit questions to answer:What are made of cells?What is the main idea of the article?

Give One Get One!In your groups, you will have 90 seconds to write two explicit questions about each photo. Remember the answers to the question must be in the photo. (use your observations)Look across the room find someone to answer your questions-get ready to switchGo! Answer the questions!

Implicit Information = Implied Info!With IMPLICIT INFO, think HMMMMM (you have to think about it LETs ACT IT OUT to REMEMBER).Implicit information is understood but it is not stated. To find implicit information in what is read, you will have to think about what you read. Look for clues as you read. Implicit information is not written. But the idea is there. Implicit information is using what is read to make an inference. But what is an inference?

INFERENCES!!!An inference is a statement about the unknown made based on what we know. It is an assumption we make where something that is believed to be true based on something else.

Inferences = evidence from text + background knowledge

Inferences drawn while reading are much like inferences drawn in everyday life.

Inference = NOUN. A conclusion.

Infer VERB. The act of drawing a conclusion.

HOW TO MAKE AN INFERENCERead the text and find a clue.Analyze the clues - reading between the lines strategy. Decide what inference (what conclusion) is justified based on text.

ALERT: Sometimes the operations can go backwards. Sometimes there can be an inference given to you and you have to decide what clues were given for someone to have made that inference.

Lets Practice!Here is the paragraph you read on cells.All living things are made up of cells. Since humans are alive, we are also made of cells. Cells make our body tissue. Tissue makes our body organs. Organs make our body systems. Cells are the building blocks of our bodies.How do you know birds are made of cells?(This is an implicit question)-Whats the answer?

PRACTICING INFERENCESThat Summer the fence that stretch through our town seemed bigger. We lived in a yellow house on one side of it. White people lived on the other. And Mama said, Dont climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasnt safe.

What can I infer from the text?

PRACTICING INFERENCESExit Slip: Its hard to live in a small studio apartment with a man who is learning how to play the violin. Thats what she told the police as she handed them the broken bat.What do you think has happened?Why did it happen?How does the story end?
