Making Inferences Sub Plan (No Prep): Clue Collector, Grades 5-6 Reading

Something big is happening to Quinn's family, but the story never says what. Students are clue collectors. They read "The Week Before Saturday," then collect six clues from at least four different paragraphs, writing each clue with its paragraph number and what they infer from it. Then they answer three "what can you tell" questions (how Quinn feels, what the weather is on Saturday morning, and who a drawing at the end is for), and each answer must be backed up with an exact quote.
