Character "Feeling" Web
The web can be the shape of your choice. I use squares, with the character name in the middle. One arm must state the feeling, and evidence from the story that implies the character feels this way.
Story Maps Include: title, author, illustrator, setting, main characters, genre, theme, and plot (introduction, complication, climax, resolution).
We completed one together in the Language Arts notebook.
TYPES OF QUESTIONS:
Predicting Questions - helps the reader think about what might happen in the story - What, When, Where, Why, How Would, Might?
Clarifying Questions - helps monitor comprehension and clarify points of importance or misunderstanding - What did? Why would? When does? Where would? Can? Does?
Wonder Questions - not formal questions, but encourages deep thought about what's happened - I wonder when...why..how...who...what?
Author's Craft - explores the author's purpose, craft, style, reasons - Why did the author? How did the author? What else would the author?
Higher Order Thinkins Questions - use text info combined with their own knowledge and synthesis of ideas - How come? What if? Why?
Should...could...would? Do you think? How do you know?
note: Questions may not be yes/no or "Right There" questions. They must cause one to think about the feelings and actions of characters at a deeper level than surface answers.
