Activity #1

Reading Strategy - Questioning?

Why do we ask questions?

Asking questions & responding to other people's questions will improve our ability to respond to literature? When you ask level 2 and 3 questions, and answer them as well, you are critically thinking about what you read. 

What do we respond to?

Our goal is to respond to the Literary Elements: setting, character, plot, conflict, theme, mood, & tone.

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. 

Mr. T's Key Questions:

1. What were Grim and Gram fighting about?

2. Who do you agree with? Grim or Gram?

3. How do you feel about owning a gun?

4. What are Max & Kevin celebrating in chapter 15?

5. What does Max get Kevin?

6. What does Kevin get Max?

7. Who "came down the chimney"?

8. What do you think Max should do?
