Level 1
Facts. You can point to the answer in the passage.
Examples:
Where does Martin live?
Why does he not look people in the face?
Level 2
Inferences. Based on the selection, but “between the lines.”
Example:
Is the building nice?
Why didn’t Martin’s dad understand him?
Level 3
Discussion topics suggested by the literary passage.
Examples:
What are some other ways Martin could have handled his fears?
How safe is an elevator?
have we gone over level 3 questions? i dont think we did. if we didnt, will we go over level three questions? like e.g: what are they, how do they work, e.t.c. thank you.
No, we have done level-one and level-two only. They are explained at this blog.
Have we gone over lever 3 questions? Thank you.
No, not yet.
Was the assignment on the level one, two, and three questions supposed to be about “The Elevator” story?
No, it was about the summer reading book, the same one you completed the Reading Check for. Mrs P
Ok, i was absent…. i don’t know what to do Joseph Eid said there was an assignment, where we had to do 2 of each question over “real indians eat jell-o” ?
I have copies of a one-page story called “Real Indians Eat Jell-o.” you must write 3 level-one questions, three level-two questions, and one level-three. I’ll give you the page tomorrow.
By reading this you can have a brief understanding of a level 1 and 2 question but not level 3. Try being more specific and add a more understandable example so that people may understand level 3 questioning more clearly.
We have not yet covered Level-3 questions in class. They are open ended, with no right or wrong answers, suggested by the reading selections. For example, based on Where the Red Fern Grows, we might ask, “is it right to hunt raccoons?” Or, “In what ways did Billy learn more than a boy in school would learn?” “In what ways did he learn less?”
To the point!
Thanks. It works with seventh graders.
