Conclusions and Generalizations

• Using text evidence to figure out something in a story that isn't directly stated by the author is called drawing a conclusion

•  A generalization—a broad statement that is true most of the time—is a type of conclusion

• Actions and words can help you draw conclusions and make generalizations about the characters

Examples

• If a child says that they don't want to share their toys, you might assume that they are rude and not good at sharing. This is drawing a conclusion.

• If a character says that they got straight A's at school, you would draw the conclusion that they are smart.
