Part II

06/10/18

If you're taking a multiple-choice test, and you must choose a conclusion that can be drawn from a text, you should:

Summarize the main point of the text in your own words.

Re-read the text to look for the conclusion, since it will be explicitly stated by the author.

Re-read the text to evaluate which fact presented in the text is the most important.

Re-read the text to see which details or facts point to one of the options on the test.

Why is drawing conclusions an important skill for readers to learn?

It promotes critical thinking and encourages readers to evaluate whether or not a text has clearly stated its message.

It encourages readers to pay attention to what they are reading, use what they know from life experiences, and look at the details and facts in the text as clues that will help them draw conclusions about what is meant but not explicitly stated.

It pushes readers to pay attention to what they are reading and draw from their own experiences to understand what characters are going through.

It motivates readers to pay attention to what they are reading, share personal memories related to the text, and explain what they can conclude based on their own life experiences.

In order to draw conclusions, readers need to:

Consider what they have learned from other texts.

Gather all of the information that the author has given them (characters' personalities, feelings and motivations, the time period and place, conflicts, etc.).

Consider what they already know from their own experiences and gather all of the information that the author has given them (characters' personalities, feelings and motivations, the time period and place, conflicts, etc.).

Consider what they already know from their own experiences.

When you summarize, you:

Condense the author's idea into a shortened version but in your own words

Take an author's idea word for word from the text

Rewrite the author's idea in your own words in a version that is about the same length

Expand on the author's thoughts by bringing in other sources.

Which of the following statements is true?

An important part of analyzing a text is offering your own opinion about how successful the text is and reasons for that opinion.

Analysis of a text never includes your own opinions about the text.

You may state your opinion about a text when you analyze it, but you don't have to give reasons for your opinion.

Stating your own opinion in your analysis of a text is always optional.

You must always be sure to give the author credit whenever you _____ his or her ideas.
