Writing Standard:
W.6.2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content.
Through writing an explanatory text students could make inferences about other possible outcomes that could have occurred in the text, if the student had already finished the book. If the student had not finished the book already, the student could make an inference about how the book ends. The student would make sure it is relevant to the book, like stated in the standard.

Schema Theory: Describes how readers use prior knowledge in reading (Literacy in Context (LinC), 2011).
Students use what they know to relate it to what they are reading and what is happening in the text.
