Reading between the lines

Today you are going to be watching some videos and making some inferences about what is happening. Making an inference means to "read between the lines." Even though you are not specifically told the answers to these questions, you should be able to answer them from watching the videos.

Create a Google Doc called "Inference" and answer the questions after you watch the short videos. You do not have to write the question, but you must answer in complete sentences. Share with eroth@irvingisd.net
