Informative visual text: summarise facts Glossary
inferences: opinions, decisions or conclusions that are based on available information or on what you already know infer: to reach a decision based on what someone says or does, rather than from a direct statement imply: to suggest something without stating it directly
Fact, opinion and making inferences
A photograph provides an enormous amount of information. It provides detail that is difficult to give in words. These details are facts. Facts are points that cannot be questioned as the evidence is there. There is also a great deal one can infer from a photograph. Although inferring is guessing in an informed way, it is still an opinion. Even though there might not be proof, there should still be good evidence for your conclusion. You can make inferences like this: • It looks like … because ...
• Maybe they want to … Activity 1 Identify facts and make inferences Note
Do not use “infer” when you mean “imply”. These two words have opposite meanings.
Work in groups of three and discuss the photograph on this page. 1 What are the first things you notice about the photograph? 2 Look at the photo again. What do you see now that you missed the first time you looked at it?
3 What facts can you extract from the photograph? Give reasons why you identify them as facts.
4 What can you infer by looking at the photograph? Explain how you reached your conclusions. What information did you base your inferences on?
5 Report your findings to the class.
Informative oral text: listen for information Introduction to informative texts
There are many kinds of informative texts. Examples of written texts are dictionaries, encyclopaedias, telephone directories and TV guides. Some radio programmes also give information.
Some informative texts, for example in magazines, also aim to entertain readers or listeners. They do not only give dry facts but offer opinion and personal comment as well.

Let’s go
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit. – Conrad Hilton
Grade 11 is, in many ways, a year of going places. You are certainly well on your way through school. And after that … who knows? Your imagination can take you almost anywhere and, with a bit of effort, you may even get there physically. Keep moving. There is much in this world to see, do and learn. Elation, frustration, sorrow and wonder are all part of the mix as we move forward. Make the most of the journey.
Grade 11 is going to be the best year of my life … and that’s a fact!

You can’t say that! What do you base that on? That’s just your opinion, not a fact. Facts are real and proven.

I don’t care what you say – it’s a fact that I’m going to work hard this year and make it a good one.
Gracia
Perfection is sooo boring! But I have to admit, I’ve already chosen books for my extended reading project.
People are always confusing facts and opinions. They say stuff and make it sound like it is fact when it’s really only their ideas.
