  1. Types of questions Levels of thinking

  2. Learning Goal • I can answer literal, inferential, evaluative and synthesizing questions to demonstrate comprehension of grade-appropriate texts.

  3. Type of question: literal • Way to remember: It’s right there. • Example: What sport does Greg Ridley like to play (“The Treasure of Lemon Brown”) • Support: The answer is in the text.

  4. Type of question inferential • Way to remember: Reading between the lines. • Example: Why do you think Greg smiles at the end of the story when he arrives back home? • Support: Answer is partially in the text (with clues to support) and partially in your own thinking.

  5. Type of question: Evaluative • Way to Remember: It’s your opinion! Make a judgment; come to a conclusion. • Example: Do you think Lemon Brown is wise? • Support: Answer is your thinking with supportive reasons to back your opinion.

  6. Type of question: synthesizing • Way to Remember: Pulling it all together—create a new level of meaning. • Example: What is a lesson from the story that applies to real life? • Support: Found across the text, with your background, and your thinking.

  7. Review: Four types of Questions • Literal—The answer is in the text. • Inferential—The answer is partially in the text (with clues to support) and partially in your thinking; read between the lines. • Evaluative—Answer is your thinking with supportive reasons from the text to back your opinion. • Synthesizing—Found across the text, with your background, and in your thinking.
