Making Inferences Picture #6 - Reluctant Worker Scene #143858 (License: Personal Use)

This illustrated scene depicts a woman lying in bed, holding a thermometer in her mouth, with flushed cheeks and a weary expression-indicating illness. Her body language and the text “Mrs. Neddelson doesn’t want to go to work today” suggest she’s using her symptoms as a reason to avoid responsibilities. The image serves as a prompt for students to infer motives, emotions, and context beyond explicit details.

Used in K-5 reading comprehension curricula to teach inference-making; appears in worksheets, digital lessons, or interactive whiteboard activities where students analyze visual cues to draw conclusions.
