Basic Inference SEE format ● Statement, evidence, elaboration ● Consider everything then make a stand, do not jump to conclusions ● L4 for CK ● “Never take cartoons too seriously” - there may be more than meets the eye ● Don’t fixate on a few words/details, understand the full meaning ● Source A tells me that (inference in own words).
