Want a way to get students to make inferences and ask questions about a text while addressing bullying issues? This lesson for fourth through eighth graders is the first in a series that makes up a longer unit based on McEwan’s book, THE DAYDREAMER. Students work alone and then with a partner to create characters and act out their ideas based on inferences about the story.
