0002 Analyze the Relationships Among Ideas or Information Within One or More Reading Selections

Predict Outcomes, Make Generalizations, and Draw Conclusions Inductively or Deductively From Ideas or Information Presented Within One or More Reading Selections

Two types of predictions may be made on the basis of a careful reading of most passages.

The subject of a passage will often lend itself to making predictions about similar content in other situations or at some future time. For example, a passage dealing with increases in student enrollment at the University of Washington may make it possible to predict what has been happening at the Washington State University or what may happen at the University of Washington in the next five years.

The author of a passage will often reveal information about himself/herself which can be the basis for predictions on what he/she would feel about related subjects. For example, a passage describing Olympic National Park in glowing terms might be used to predict the author's view on possible cuts in the Federal budget.

Looking for possible predictions will always increase a reader's critical comprehension of a passage.
