Inferring Emotions and Thoughts

Students read a passage describing Ella’s nervousness on her first day at school. They answer questions that require inferring her feelings and thoughts based on her actions, body language, and sensory details. The worksheet teaches learners how authors show emotions indirectly through behavior rather than explicit statements. This strengthens students’ inferential comprehension and helps them recognize subtle cues. By supporting their conclusions with evidence, students improve both analysis and written explanation.
