Friendship is a rarity in this day and age. Man against animal…Animal against man. What have you. We are only given one life to live. Our greatest assets are our ability to create valued friendships with those around us…Man or Animal. My dear friends…Animals of the barnyard. Today, I have outstretched my arms to you in hopes that we can mend the rip that has come between us. Mollie, one of your treasured few, has extended her hand of friendship to me by allowing me to rub her nose. A hand for a hand…A nose for a nose. Is it not much to ask that we reach out to each other as friends in this world full of enemies.

You try it…

Moment of Sharing

Direct Instruction Let’s look at the paragraphs together….

“Mollie,” she said, “I have something very serious to say to you. This morning I saw you looking over the hedges that divides Animal Farm from Foxwood. One of Mr. Pilkington’s men was standing on the other side of the hedge. And – I was a long way away, but I am almost certain I saw this – he was talking to you and you were allowing him to stroke your nose. What does that mean, Mollie?

“He didn’t! I wasn’t! It isn’t true! Cried Mollie, beginning to prance about and paw the ground.

Drawing Conclusions… Drawing Conclusions requires you to use the

information that was given to you from the text and your prior knowledge to place determine what is happening in a selection.

There are 3 methods of drawing conclusions: Inductive Reasoning Deductive Reasoning Abductive Reasoning

Inductive Reasoning begins with specific observations that are and

proceeds to a generalized conclusion that is likely, but not certain

?

Hint #1

Hint #2

Hint #3

Hints start on the outside and work their way to a conclusion..

Inductive Reasoning begins with specific observations that are

and proceeds to a generalized conclusion that is likely, but not certain

?

Talking

Pets Mollie’s

Nose

She’s near the

fence

What hints do we have? What conclusions can we make from what we see?...

Deductive Reasoning The exact

opposite of inductive reasoning. We start with what we presume is “the truth” and make our observations fit what we think…

Mollie’s is friends

with humans

…

She lets one pet

her

She is near the

fence

She is talking with a human

Abductive Reasoning begins with

an incomplete set of observations and proceeds to the likeliest possible explanation

Mollie is letting him pet her nose

She is talking

to a human

She is near the

fence

Truth

The truth is out there somewhere, but you really don’t know what it is because you don’t know exactly wha you saw…

Drawing Conclusions…Whether method you decide to use to draw your conclusions…you have to remember the criterion…1. What hints are given to you from the

text?, and2. What you already know from previous

reading or your background knowledge?To use the criterion consider using an organizer similar to this…

Drawing ConclusionsText Clues/Hints(quotes from story)

What I already know? (from previous reading or background knowledge)

My conclusion…
