How to do this drill
- Select three visible clues.
- Pair each with a likely event.
- Move from immediate action to later outcome.
Material
At an outdoor craft sale, dark clouds approach, tablecloth corners lift in strong wind, and a few raindrops mark the pavement. One vendor closes plastic lids; another pulls an empty cart toward uncovered paper goods. Shoppers carry purchases toward an open hall while an organizer points to indoor signs.
Your tasks
- Plan three clue-prediction pairs.
- Deliver a one-minute prediction using cautious certainty.

Answer
Rain likely intensifies; vendors secure or move goods; shoppers finish or enter the hall; the sale may relocate indoors.
How to reach it
- State clue and likelihood.
- Connect actions into sequence.
- Avoid certainty beyond visible evidence.
Evidence
The cart, lids, moving shoppers, open hall, and organizer's signs collectively support relocation more strongly than cancellation.
Review your attempt
- Does every prediction have a clue?
- Did you distinguish relocation from certain cancellation?
Take it further
Rank predictions as highly likely, possible, and weakly supported with reasons.
