Reading Strategy - Questioning?

Level 1 - Has only 1 correct answer, and the answer can be found in the book.

Level 2 - Has an infinite number of answers, and it puts you in the book and asks you what you think the characters should do, think, feel, etc. or what you would do, think, feel. etc. 

In a level two question we are talking about the book, it's characters, setting, plot, etc, and putting ourselves in the book

Level 3 - Has an infinite number of answers, and it pulls something that happens in the book, and asks you to apply it to your own life?

In a level 3 question we are no longer talking about the book or the characters. We leave the book behind and talk about situations from our own lives, that are similar to those in the book?

Level 4 - Require research & additional resources to dig deep into a question.
