The Invisible Girl

Hi everyone, today I'm going to share some things we did today in our class called "Speaking My Truth" well we talk about what is Inferences and do some activities that need to base on Inferences. I had a lot fun and today I'm going to share to you what we did in this hour and it was called "Prediction Collection".

Well if you don't know what is Inferences means well it means a conclusion reached on the basis of the evidence and your reason.

So here is the first activity and also my second activity.Well it was called "The Invisible Girl" also "Inferences Worksheets" I hope you guys like and understand my reasons.

THE INVISIBLE GIRL

• Is the girl really invisible?

Answer: Maybe yes or maybe no for me it’s 50/50 because in my opinion I think that the people don't really care and I can see that the background is really dark maybe there’s no life. And the only thing that has colour is the girl maybe she is an angel that will give a life to those people.

• Why isn’t anyone looking at her or speaking to her?

Answer: Well I have seen a lot of videos like kinda similar to this picture so in my opinion they are busy looking at their phones and scrolling to their social media, maybe they are just taking a video at her but if she is really invisible they will just see a bright light in that wall and like take pictures then go.

• What is she doing?

Answer: For me I saw that she is holding two bright beautiful  flowers in her hand, maybe she is giving it to them to make their day but I feel like no one is receiving them.

• What might she be saying?

Answer: For me she might be saying this words with a smile or maybe begging them to take one flower ,” Everyone have one of this just to make your day”

• Where do you think this is?

Answer: I think it might be in a dark city because in the very back of the picture there are black,gray cars and also some tall no life buildings. So that’s why I thought that this one might be in a dark city.

• Why is she alone?

Answer: For me in my thoughts I think that the people around her thought that she is from the other world or something like that because she is the only one who has a life or a bright colour.Because I can see that there’s a lot of space between the girl and those peoples.

• Where does she live? Draw what you think her house/bedroom looks like. Explain your choices.

Answer: I think she lives in a bright small beautiful house that has a garden that is filled with some red flowers.

• How long do you think she’ll stay there?

Answer: Until someone takes her precious beautiful flowers, but if she can’t take it anymore she will go home with her head down.

• What will she do when it starts to get dark?

Answer: Maybe she will just go home or maybe she will stay there and wait until someone speaks to her.

Second Activity:

Directions: Read each passage and then respond to the questions. Each question will ask you to make a logical inference based on textual details. Explain your answer by referencing the text.

 Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often said. 

1. What type of job does Paul do?  

For me I feel like she is a garbage man.

How do you know this? 

Because I know that it doesn’t say it here in the text but there are a lot of words that say garbage and it also gives me ideas when I was reading and it says “ Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning”. Well I know that every morning in real life the garbage man always took the rubbish bin and put it back in the porch railing. That’s why I thought his job is being a garbage man.

Maybe he can also be a farmer because it also says that Paul took his muddy boot and also it also says that he took off his dusty overalls. I know that overalls is like a jumper for a farmer that’s why I just thought that he might also be a farmer.

2. Describe Alice:

For me she is kind and also helpful.

 What in the text supports your description? 

Why I said that is because she always puts their rubbish on the porch railing every morning,and also helps Paul to get ready for his work.

3. What relationship do Paul and Alice have? For me I think they have a good relationship with each other.

Why do you feel this way? 

Because when I read the text they always help each other. Like when Paul needed to go to work Alice would help him to get ready, and also they would eat together for dinner. Also I think when Alice needs help Paul would be there for her to help her out.

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There, there, Max. We’ll just find something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, “I don’t wanna sand-mich!” A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.

 4. Why is Max upset? 

I think I kinda know why Max is upset because of the bad weather and also he wouldn’t be able to play outside with his kite.

How do you know this? 

Because it says that Max stared outside at their window because of the bad weather that made him cry and begin to lose control. That's why he dropped his kite and broke into full sobs.

5. What was Mom planning on doing today? 

I think  mom is planning to go for a picnic but it didn’t happen because of the rainy stormy day.

What in the text supports your description? 

Well it says that she began to unpack the picnic basket ( that’s why I thought that she was planning to go on a picnic). 

“Tommy!” Mom called out as she walked in the front door. “Tommy,” she continued shouting, “I sure could use some help with these groceries. There was still no reply. Mom walked into the kitchen to put the grocery bags down on the counter when she noticed shattered glass from the picture window all over the living room floor and a baseball not far from there. “I’m going to kill you, Tommy!” Mom yelled to herself as she realized that Tommy’s shoes were gone. 

6. What happened to the window? 

It fell apart that caused the glass to spread all over the living room floor, and it was caused by a baseball.

How do you know this? 

I said that it’s because when mom walked into the kitchen just to put the grocery bags. But when she noticed something weird in the living room and that is the time she saw a shattered glass from the picture window that is all over the living room floor. It also says that it was because of baseball.

7. Why did Tommy leave? 

Because I heard that she was scolding Tommy because of what happened.

What in the text supports your description? 

Well when mom was screaming, yelling and scolding that say “I’m going to kill you, Tommy!” That's why Tommy ran and left because he was scared of his mom.

Today was a special day in Ms. Smith’s class. Some of the children were walking around the room, some of them were standing in small groups, and some of them were at their desks, putting finishing touches on cardboard mailboxes. After coloring a cool flame on the side of his race car mailbox, Johnny hopped off his chair, strutted over to Veronica’s desk, and dropped a small white envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Veronica blushed and played with her hair. While this was happening, Bartleby was frantically trying to put a small white envelope into everyone’s mailbox. After giving one to Ms. Smith, Bartleby pulled out a medium-sized red envelope from his pocket. He blushed and tried to put it in Veronica’s mailbox, but it wouldn’t quite fit. Bartleby struggled with it for a few seconds and then ran off with the envelope. Veronica rolled her eyes and popped her gum. 

8. Why is today a special day? 

Maybe it’s Valentine's day.

What in the text supports your idea? 

Because of Veronica blush and played with her hair because someone gave her an envelope. Well I know that happens a lot when it’s valentine’s day in real life.

9. Which boy does Veronica like? 

Johnny

What in the text supports your idea? 

Because it says that Johnny hopped off his chair and strutted over Veronica’s desk and dropped a small white envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Also because it says that Veronica blush after reading the envelope from Johnny.

10. Why did Bartleby run? 

Because he got upset because his medium sized red envelope didn’t fit in Veronica’s mailbox.

           What in the text supports your idea?

           Why I said upset it’s because when he tried and tried all over again but it didn’t fit in the mailbox, and also it said that Veronica rolled her eyes and popped her gum.That’s why he run away getting upset.
