Test questions on inferring character feelings from clues (3rd grade).

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🧐 What is Inferring Feelings? Inferring means figuring something out that isn't directly said. We use clues to understand how a character feels.
• ✍️ Clues from Actions: What a character *does* can show their feelings. For example, if someone is stomping their feet, they might be angry.
• 🗣️ Clues from Words: What a character *says* and *how* they say it can also show their feelings. Saying "I don't want to play!" in a loud voice shows frustration.
• 🤔 Look for Patterns: Sometimes, one clue isn't enough. Look for many clues that point to the same feeling.
• 💡 Think About the Situation: What's happening around the character? This can help you understand why they feel a certain way.
