Drawing conclusions involves using information from the text, along with your own knowledge and experiences, to make an educated guess or inference about something that is not directly stated.
Example 1: From the sentence "The sky darkened, and thunder rumbled in the distance," you can draw the conclusion that a storm is approaching.
Example 2: In a story about a character who is always helping others, you can draw the conclusion that the character is kind and caring.
Read a short passage and identify the clues and evidence that can help you draw conclusions about the characters, events, or situations presented in the text. Support your conclusions with evidence from the passage.
Drawing conclusions is essential for comprehending and analyzing texts. It helps readers engage with the material, understand underlying meanings, and make connections between the text and their own experiences.
