Inference
a thought process a reader makes to understand the meaning of a text, or even an image; a logical conclusion.
When you infer, you pay attention to the details in front of you, and you use other information (from the text, or your background knowledge) to mentally fill in the gaps between the details that are actually said or shown, and what the author expects the reader to understand.
WORK TIME
Practice inferencing in assignments 22.0 and 22.5. Both are due by Sunday.

DIRECTIONS
Copy the following informational text and question into your notebook. Read the passage below and select the inference that is best reflected in the passage. Figure Skating Champion In 1998, figure skating champion Katarina Witt, a gold medalist in the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games, caused a stir when she posed nude for Playboy magazine. Right before the 2000 Olympic Games, swimmer Jenny Thompson, too, generated controversy when she appeared in Sports Illustrated magazine with only her hands covering her breasts. Just a few years later, in 2004, however, hardly anyone even raised an eyebrow when several unapologetic Olympic athletes appeared nude for Playboy and other men's magazines while they were actually competing. Even the United States Olympic Committee did not object to the athletes' actions. But they should object. In fact, we should all be appalled that these women decided to become centerfolds. They claim that modern women have earned the right to decide how they want to be portrayed in the media. But the fact is that these nude photographs degrade the women who pose for them. Even worse, these women diminish the accomplishments of female athletes and encourage the public to view them as sex objects. When even a few athletes choose to pose nude, they severely undermine women's quest to be respected for their achievements rather than for the way they look. (Source of information: Joe Drape, "Olympians Strike Pinup Pose, and Avoid Setting Off a Fuss," The New York Times, August 12, 2004, www.nytimes.com) From this passage, a reader might logically draw (infer) which conclusion? a. The author would probably say that it's acceptable for Hollywood actresses to appear nude in films. b. The author would probably not object to male athletes posing nude for magazines. c. The author would agree that Katarina Witt and Jenny Thompson are good role models for young girls who aspire to become Olympic athletes one day. d. The author would probably disapprove of a calendar featuring photographs of Olympic athletes in skimpy lingerie.
