Coming to Conclusions
When you read texts you come to conclusions, which are:
· decisions you reach
· based on the information provided as well as your
· own knowledge and experience
Conclusions require a deeper level of thinking to inferences, but you often use inferences to come to a conclusion. You might make a decision about a character’s motive for doing something, their innocence or guilt or whether they have learnt a lesson, for example. You might also decide who you think was responsible for an event taking place. Whenever you make a decision that involves any sort of judgement (imagine you are the judge in a court room, making important decisions based on the evidence), you are coming to a conclusion.
