Then use these inferences to draw conclusions about what the story is trying to teach you.  \nAn elderly lion, weakened by old age and past injuries, could no longer hunt for his food. For a while, he lived on grass and berries, but this only made him grow weaker. Soon, he decided to use his brain to get what he could no longer get by strength.  \nThe elderly lion lay down in his den and told every animal and bird who passed by that he was very sick. News of his illness spread, and animals came one by one to visit him.  \nFirst, the squirrel arrived, bringing fresh grass and berries. Squirrel was never seen again. Then the dove came, also bringing grass and berries. Dove was never seen again.  \nMore animals visited the elderly lion, and soon it became clear that those who went inside were disappearing.  \nFox thought carefully about what was happening. He decided to visit the lion but stayed outside the den at a safe distance.  \n“How are you feeling today?” Fox asked.  \n“Not well—very sick,” replied the elderly lion.“Why do you stand out there? Please come inside and visit me for a while.”  \n“No, thank you,” said Fox.“I notice many footprints leading into your den, but I see none leading back out.”  \nAs you read this story, you can make several inferences. Fill in the missing sections and make two inferences using the charts below.  \nClues in Text What I Know Inference  \nThe lion is    \n___________________  \n______________________  \n_________________________  \n_________________________  \nClues in Text What I Know Inference  \nAnimals are not leaving the den because  \n___________________  \n______________________  \n_______________________  \nNow use your inferences to answer: What can you conclude about why Fox did not go into the lion’s den?  \nI can conclude that  \nbecause    \nAnswers  \nAnswers will vary, but here is an example:  \nInference 1  \nClues in text:  \n-  Animals who went into the lion’s den were never seen again.  \nWhat I know:  \n-  If animals disappear after going somewhere, something dangerous is likely happening there.  \nInference:  \n- The lion is likely tricking animals and eating them inside the den.  \nInference 2  \nClues in text:  \n-  Fox noticed many footprints going into the den but none coming out.  \nWhat I know:  \n-  If there are no footprints coming out, it means nothing is leaving that place. Inference:  \n- Animals are not leaving the den because something is happening to them inside.  \nI can conclude that Fox did not go into the lion’s den because he realized it was dangerous and that the lion was tricking animals into coming inside.","cbCaikoTrcS1bgqt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikoTrcS1bgqt","pdf",155476,"English","# Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences\n## Inference Chart: Lion Clues\n## Inference Chart: Animals Not Leaving\n## Question: Why Fox Did Not Enter the Den","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between an inference and a conclusion in this worksheet?\",\"answer\":\"An inference uses clues from the story plus what you already know to figure something out.
