Today’s Agenda:
1. Making an inference about a short-short story.
 
2. Making inferences about similarities and differences between the Community in The Giver and our own world.

You can find the text for The Giver at https://archive.org/stream/TheGiverFullBook/The%20Giver%20%28Full%20Book%29_djvu.tx |
Read this very, very short story “The Question” by Steve Hall—
"Starry night. Perfect time. Dinner by candlelight. Fancy Italian restaurant. Little black dress. Beautiful hair, sparkling eyes, feminine laughter. Together two years. Wonderful times. True love, best friend, no one else. ... On one knee. People stare. So what? Lovely diamond ring. Blush. Beautiful smile. No?!"
What happened? How did you know? What you just did was take what the story said and what you know about the topic of the story and put them together to make a guess at what happened. A guess made from what the text says and what you know is called an inference. We will be making inferences with The Giver.
