A GOOD question
Makes you think hard Can have more than one answer Makes you reread the book Can be asked in many different ways Can not be answered just by using the book Will need you to use your experiences and life Makes you think about other books youve read before Is not simple or quick; it is not just a one word answer Makes you want to talk about it to see what they think
Good Questions
Make you explain with more than one word Help you think deeper about the text Promote discussion and sharing of others opinions Are not answered quick Can be asked in different ways Are like a good workout-they are hard, but make you feel great after you answer them Make you go Hmmmmmm Make you want to talk to someone Go way beyond the book Require you to think about the world and your life Are very personal The answer is flexible and can change when you discuss it Make you think about other books you have read-help you to compare what you learned from other places FEEL GOOD!!!!

Much of what we know about intelligence and achievement show that the power of what individuals know depends in very large part not on the information they control but on the SCOPE and ORIGINALITY of the questions they ask.

does not make sense? How did questions help you to figure out meaning? Do you have questions that you expect the author to answer? If the author were here, what would you ask him/her? What will you do with the questions you still have left after reading? As I listen to your questions, I notice
(Isabel Beck)
What do you think the author is trying to accomplish here? Why did the author write_________? If you could ask the author on question, what would it be? Do you agree with the authors main point? How does the author feel about? What do you think is the question the text is trying to

I ask questions before, during and after I read. I question the text while I read. I question the writer of the text while I read. I ask questions about myself while I read.
I ask questions that make me think deeper about the story or topic I am reading.
I recognize that the questions I asked may be answered in a variety of ways.
Final Thought:
Once you have learned how to ask relevant and appropriate questions, you have learned how to learn and no one can keep you from learning whatever you want or need to know.
