terrible twits

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.  
What’s going on in this picture? Look closely at the image above or view it in a <a href="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/04/17/learning/VTS04-20-20LN/VTS04-20-20LN-superJumbo.jpg">larger size</a>, then tell us what you see by posting a comment. On Thursday afternoon, we will reveal more about the image and its origins at the bottom of this post.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.

Have you read the Twits before?

See you in the next post.

  1. Hi Leo
    Great blog about making an inference on the twits from what you've read so far. I liked how you got evidence from the book to back your answers up, maybe next time you could just proof read it and make sure there's no spelling mistakes. Also don't forget every name has to start with a capital letter
