Inferencing+with+Movies

 The Wonderful World of Movies!



Directors and movie writers are masters of making you think! They make you infer during the story line in a movie constantly. Sometimes the end of the movie can be completely different from what you expected to happen and sometimes there are enough clues in the movie to help you figure it out. Great writers will keep you guessing to make movies and books more interesting or fun.

It is OKAY to make an inference and be wrong. It happens all the time. But you should always have a reason for the inference you made in order to prove WHY you came to the conclusion you made. The best lawyers, doctors, teachers, and professionals are able to back up their ideas and conclusions with EVIDENCE.





View the video below. Write what you can infer about Mr. Bean's character or the two boys' character after watching this video on the wiki. Explain why you made the inference you made using evidence from the movie or your prior knowledge and experiences.

Jess K: I can infer that Mr. Bean is not a very brave person because he was afraid to jump off of the high diving board at the pool by himself. Plus he was the only adult at the pool and many children were there swimming and were not afraid to go off of the high diving board. A good character trait to describe Mr. Bean could be that he is cowardly.

KIM O:I can infer what I think about mr beans charater is that he is a very scared person the way I saw him about to dive in the swimming pool but couldn't.
