Guided Notes & Practice
Join us as we revisit the world of EXPLICIT and implicit details. As we already know,
writers will give the reader information in two ways, ___________________ and ____________________.
Explicit
Details
Implicit
Details
The reader can find these details by making an inference.
The reader can find these details by looking directly in the passage
(“right there” details)
How are explicit details and implicit details related? In order to determine an implicit detail, the
reader must make an inference using an explicit detail.
If you’re given an explicit detail in the question, ask yourself as you read:
________________________________________________________________________________
If you’re given an implicit detail in the question, ask yourself as you read:
________________________________________________________________________________
To make conclusions and inferences, follow these
steps:
1. Ask yourself, what am I being asked?
2. Review the explicit information given to you
by the author (textual evidence).
3. Think about your prior knowledge and
experiences with the subject of the text and what
has been implied throughout the text already.
4. Put these together to make a reasonable
judgment about the implied information in the text
