Activity #1

Analysis of Ch. 16 using 

the Reading Strategy of Questioning

Standards:

RL6.1 - Making Inferences and using evidence to support your thinking

RL6.3 - Describe how a story, or plot, unfolds in a series of events, including how the characters respond or change

Why do we ask questions?

1. Asking & Answering level 2 and 3 questions make you critically think about what you read. 
2. This will improve our ability to respond to literature? 

What do we respond to?

• We respond using the Literary Elements: setting, character, plot, conflict, theme, mood, & tone.

D.O.K. Questions

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 - Requires research & additional resources to dig deep into a question.
