This beautifully illustrated powerpoint is extremely engaging for the students. This presentation establishes what 'inference' is and how we apply it in our lives. The lesson focuses firstly on the 'inferences' we can make from media images, this works as a gateway to the second part of the lesson where we transfer those skills to explore written texts. I have used this lesson successfully a number of times and it really helps the students to detail their responses more dynamically. Enjoy!
