When you make an inference, be
      able to identify the
clues that you used.

 


 


             Mary was very proud of her garden.  She'd planted the seeds
   early in the spring and tended to the plants every day since then.
   She pulled the weeds so they'd have lots of space.  She knew that
   the plants needed plenty of water, so she watered them every day
   too.

           Last Saturday her friend Pam called early in the morning and
   invited Mary to spend the day at the mall.  They left early and
   spent the day there, even taking in a movie.  Pam then invited Mary
   to sleep over Saturday night too, and she happily accepted.  When   
   Mary arrived home on Sunday afternoon, her beautiful plants
   were bent and drooping.

 
   Why were the plants drooping?     
  What clue in the story helped you to make this inference?  
                                                                     
  What do you think Mary will do the next  
       time?
