    The document discusses thick and thin questions. Thin questions have answers directly stated in the text and are short, while thick questions require more thinking to answer and use both the text and one's own knowledge or inferences. Examples provided are asking where a story took place, which is thin, versus asking why characters in the story acted in a certain way, which is thick because it requires inferring beyond just the text. The document poses sample questions and asks the reader to determine if they are thick or thin.
