I Read It, but I Don't Get It by Cris Tovani 8

                                                           Chapter 8

**FRUITS**
-"When teaching the what, don't forget the how."(98)
-When Kristi makes a wild outlandish inference about the ending of the class reading, Tovani tells her"as you get older, people won't take you seriously if your opinions aren't based on the facts. You can't just say anything and expect people to agree with you."(98)
-"In order to infer, readers must lift up the words and go beneath them." (100)

**WEEDS**
Very important chapter. No weeds here!

**BASKET**
"When teachers use phrases like read between the lines, make an inference, draw a conclusion, think harder, they are not showing students how to infer, they are merely telling them to infer." (99) I have to remember this when I start teaching.

"Distinguish the differences between opinion and inference.Provide examples and point out that sometimes opinions are based on facts but not always."(104)
