What-If Thinking

Students read a passage about a clock tower mystery and answer “what if” questions that require creative thinking and text-supported reasoning. They imagine alternative story outcomes, interpret character actions, and develop extended responses. This worksheet strengthens higher-order thinking by requiring students to apply creativity while still grounding ideas in textual details. It also improves writing fluency and comprehension.
