Comprehension Skill: Generalizations

• Sometimes authors write broad statements that apply to many examples. These statements are called generalizations. Often, clue words such as most, all, sometimes, always, and never identify generalizations.

• Generalizations supported by facts and logic are called valid generalizations. Faulty generalizations are not supported by facts and logic.

• Generalizations should always be supported with facts from the text or from your knowledge of the world.

Text-Based Response

• Look Back and Write (Pg. 380, #5) Look back at pages 376-378. Summarize the concert Marian gave at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday in 1939. Explain how this event came about and why it was historically important. Use evidence from the text in your summary.
