Look for clue words like most, many, all, some, or few.
Ask and answer questions as you read to help you reach a generalization.

Directions Read the following passage. Then answer the questions below.

ameika wrote a report on gray whales.

She said that gray whales do not have
teeth. They feed by filtering shellfish from
the ocean bottom through thin plates in
their mouths.
Byron wrote a report on killer whales.
He said that killer whales have teeth. They
hunt other sea animals.

The two students exchanged reports.

"How can killer whales hunt when gray
whales do not?" Byron asked Tameika.
Tameika and Byron looked in an
encyclopedia. Here's what they found:
Some whales hunt for food. Others
strain small prey from ocean waters
through plates in their mouths.

1. What example of eating was in Tameika's report?

2. What example of eating was in Byron's report?

3. What part of the story is a generalization about the way whales eat?

4. What clue word tells you that a generalization is being made?

5. How did the question Byron asked help the two students generalize?

Home Activity Your child answered questions about the process of making generalizations. To make a
Home generalization, you must read a passage with several examples. Find a book or magazine article th<:t tells
