Instructional Ideas

• Include the questions in a reading assessment or as writing prompts at the beginning of class
• Encourage kids to come up with their own questions as they read

Classroom Considerations

• The lesson has a more involved class activity to complete the questions, but you could simply use the reading comprehension part if it fits better into your curriculum
• Questions are mostly on the comprehension level of Bloom's Taxonomy, but do focus on both story details and literary themes

Pros

• Questions cover different aspects of the story from the beginning, middle, and end
• Comes with a learner version of the worksheet that could fit onto a double-sided paper

Cons

• None
