Assignment:
As you read chapter 8, take three sticky notes and place them in your book at passages that most confuse or create questions for you. Trust me, if you don’t have any points of confusion during this chapter you should be teaching the class. It could be as large as a scene, or as small as a weird sentence.

To come up with the three most confusing/question raising parts, this may mean that after placing three sticky notes, you may need to replace a sticky note that you’ve previously placed. When you have them all placed write the page number on that sticky note.

After placing the three sticky notes go back through the chapter to see how many you can sort out and write the possible explanations on the sticky notes. Poll, discuss, decide, or research with friends and try to write an explanation of what’s going on on each sticky note.

Question answering strategies:
  • Use resource tools (dictionary, the internet)
  • Use the people around you (group discussions)
  • Break it down into smaller elements to try and digest
  • Use context clues to try and figure
  • Use the close reading techniques we practiced with the inference of Ralph on the beach.
  • Move on… sometimes books intestinally raise questions to be answered later on.
