Elaborations
using the sentence starter ‘What if…’ to explore possible consequences
using ‘what if…’ or ‘imagine that…’ to find examples to explore the strength of suggestions
identifying how ‘if, then…’ reasoning can be used to move from separate pieces of information to a conclusion, for example reasoning from historical sources (i) If a First Fleet convict in the colony were found guilty of a crime then they were punished; and (ii) this convict was found guilty of being disrespectful; to (iii) inferring the convict went on to be punished
