The first step in making an inference is to gather evidence — i.e., read or observe carefully. An inference isn’t a wild guess; it’s a conclusion you draw by combining what the text (or situation) explicitly shows with your background knowledge.
Simple steps:
1. Read or observe closely and notice clues (details, tone, actions, facts).
2. Ask questions about what those clues might mean and bring in relevant prior knowledge.
3. Make an informed guess (an inference) that ties the clues to what you already know.
4. Write it down and/or discuss with peers to check and refine your inference.
Example: If a story says “Maria left with an umbrella and the sky was dark,” the first step was noticing those details. Using that evidence plus your knowledge about umbrellas leads to the inference that it might rain.
