a. How was our activity?
b. What have you observed about our activity?

3. Abstraction:
The teacher will discuss the following levels of comprehension.
Literal: Write questions that have correct answers, which may be found in the text. Write down all the
facts, characters, locations and sequential events. This can include the plot and the themes, setting,
turning points, anything that can be draw directly from the text of the story and is factual.

Example: Whom did Little Red Riding Hood’s mother send her to meet?

For Essay: Find quote/s that proves your response.

Inferential: Write questions and answers, which require the reader to make an “educated guess” or
prediction/s about what is going to happen in the story or why something is so. Write down all the
possibilities that can be inferred (predicted or guessed) while reading the story - ABOUT the plot, about
the characters, about anything that you have to GUESS what might happen next, or in the conclusion. If
you are reading a novel - (for your final project) then at the end of each chapter write on a large post-it-
note all the things you can GUESS might happen in the story, or to the characters.

Example: Do you think Little Red Riding Hood will make it to her grandmother’s house safely? Why, or
why not?

For Essay: Find quote/s that supports why you guessed/predicted what you did and why you concluded
what you did.

Appreciative: Write questions and answers that require the reader to make a personal response to a
character or situation in the story or to the author’s purpose. Write all possible items to be appreciated
from YOUR point of view - if you lived this story or the lives of these characters. How would you (I) feel
if... is the basic question. This is the ONE paragraph that you can use the “I” statement.

Example: How would you feel if you were sent off into the woods alone? EXPLAIN your answer. For
Essay: Find quote/s that supports or led you to why you thought what you did.

Critique: Write questions and answers that require the reader to make a judgment about the author’s
use of language, style of writing, execution of the text, or the author’s ideas in the text. Recognize the
value of the authors use of language and descriptions, images, style, and values of story concepts, look
at the authors work of writing the story - did they tell a good story - why or why not? Did the author use
descriptive words? or plain flat language? Did they make you SEE the scenes they wrote in your mind
because they were so descriptive? This is where you JUDGE the author and how well they wrote the
story.

Example: Did the author write the story so that it is relatable for kids/adults? What style or form did the
author write in, was the language authentic, and was the description rich? EXPLAIN your answer. For
Essay: Find quote/s that demonstrates and supports wh

Evaluative: Write questions and answers that require the reader to make a judgment about an aspect of
the story such as a character’s actions. Write all possible judgments about characters and issues within
story - we judge people around us everyday. JUDGE the characters as if you knew them as if they were
real. Is someone cranky? or Mean? Justified? Or self-righteous? or stuck-up? or a bully? Judge the
characters. Example: Do you think it was right for Little Red Riding Hood’s mother to send her off into
the woods alone? Why or why not? For Essay: Find quote/s that demonstrates or supports the
judgment, what a character/s said or did that made you judge them however you did. Essential: Write
questions and answers that requires the reader to consider an issue that is addressed in the story
“outside” of the story. Bring the concepts of the story to the world today, can this happen today, does
it? Write down all the possible world issues that the story discusses or implies. Every story has a theme,
apply the themes to the world today. Example: How old should a child be before he or she is allowed to
go out alone? What parameters would you set for the child? Explain your answer. For Essay: Find
quote/s from text or possibly outside sources that demonstrates and support your statements – link the
concepts of the story to the world today and situations happening today (or that could happen).
