  9. Extreme sports Can you imagine rocketing down a city street at sixty miles per hour, the speed of a car on the freeway, lying on an overgrown skateboard just inches away from the concrete? How about climbing straight up a frozen waterfall? Or doing a flip on your bike? Or jumping out of an airplane with a snowboard attached to your feet? Street lugers, ice climbers, BMX freestyle riders, and sky surfers are part of the growing world of extreme sports.

  10. Just like other athletes, they devote a lot of time to practicing and competing in their sports. Many of these sports have been created only in the past twenty-five years. Some sports, like street luging, are all about speed and seeing who can go the fastest. Other sports, like BMX freestyle riding and sky surfing, are about style, or who can do the fanciest stunts. Ice climbing competitors must have both style to win.

  11. One caution Teachers should be alert to the difference between showing students what to do and telling them what to do. Research by Barbara Taylor and her colleagues (Taylor, Peterson, Pearson, & Rodriguez, 2002) underscores the important difference between demonstrating and telling. Modeling and coaching encourage higher levels of thinking, while telling and recitation reinforce lower levels of thinking. ~QAR Now: Question Answer Relationships, 2006

  12. Now it’s your turn… With your tables, determine how you will readour practice passage. Together, generate at least one question for each of the four QAR types. Ready yourselves to present out your work.

  13. Tom has lived in Marysville his entire life. However, tomorrow, Tom and his family would be moving 200 miles away to Grand Rapids. Tom hated the idea of having to move. He would be leaving behind his best friend, Ron, the baseball team he had played on for the last two years, and the big swing in his backyard where he liked to sit and think. And to make matters worse, he was moving on his birthday! Tom would be thirteen tomorrow. He was going to be a teenager! He wanted to spend the day with his friends, not watching his house being packed up and put on a truck. He thought that moving was a horrible way to spend his birthday. What about a party? What about spending the day with his friends? What about what he wanted? That was just the problem. No one ever asked Tom what he wanted.

  14. I CAN generate and respond to questions based on nonfiction and fiction texts.
