Understanding Explicit and Implicit Information in Texts

The video tutorial explains the difference between explicit and implicit information in texts. Explicit information is directly stated and can be easily found in the text, while implicit information requires inference and deduction based on the context and actions of characters. The tutorial uses examples, including a scenario from Turma da Mônica, to illustrate these concepts. The video concludes by reinforcing the understanding of how to identify and interpret both types of information.

• Information that is written and presented clearly

• Information that is not related to the text
