Reading Concepts for the week of October 4th

This week we have been studying sub-headings there are two important ones: Standard and Inferential. Inferential sub-headings mean that you need to use your knowledge to find out what the sub-heading means. Standard sub-headings are much simpler you just look at them and it and know what it means such as “Cows” on an article about farms.

In more specific and challenging articles more often than not they’re inferential. Infer mans you use your knowledge and text clues (how the word is used) to give an educated guess. Inferential ones sometimes can be hard since if you have limited knowledge you might not know certain word(s) mean. Such as in a space article you might think when they reference to the Milky Way Galaxy you might think it is about some candy.

A standard subheading would be like a subheading called fish. Obviously, the following writing after the subheading called fish is about fish. What we have been doing with the standard subheadings this week is we have been reading articles with multiple subheadings inside. We list the subheadings on a blank loose-leaf paper and decide if it is a standard subheading. So far, the awesome Mr. Gebauer has been evaluating our work and has said that we have done a good job for our grade. So that is what we have to say about subheadings!
