  3. Levels of Questioning • Level 1: Right There Questions • They are mostly important detail questions and can be answered from the text. • You can put your finger on the answer in the text. • Usually answer who, what, where, when, and how questions. • They correspond to Bloom’s Knowledge and Comprehension levels.

  4. Levels of Questioning • Level 2: Detective Questions • You must use the text and your own knowledge to answer these questions. • These questions require you to make inferences, analyze and interpret specific parts of the text. • Usually attempt to answer “why?” questions. • These questions correspond to Bloom’s Application and Analysis levels. • These questions are the basis of critical thinking.

  5. Levels of Questioning • Level 3: The Big Questions that May Never Be Answered • Deepen critical thinking. • Bloom’s Evaluation and Synthesis levels • Based in the text but go beyond the text, relating the story to the real world or to other literature. These questions examine larger contexts and purposes . • You will not find the answer in the text. • Responses to Level 3 Questions bring a universal perspective to the text being analyzed.

  6. Examples from TWM • Level 1: What is the subject of Morrie’s last class? • Level 2: Based on what you know about how Mitch has changed, why do you think he went back to see his old professor? • Level 3: How can you be sure you’ve lived life to the fullest?

  7. Leveled Questions with TWM • Write and answer three questions (one Level 1, one Level 2, and one Level 3) over the first reading. • Label them by level. • Try not to focus on the same things you’ve already responded to on your split page notes. • We’ll use these to generate discussion.

  8. Dialectical Journals You will draw inferences (conclusions) and then support them with evidence (commentary). These do not work chronologically, but are divided into segments: Character (Morrie, then Mitch), Teaching, Culture, and Points to Consider. Some quotes are provided for you—you only have to respond. You must also FIND quotes from the text that tie to each segment and then respond. Complete the journals AS YOU READ. You know what each segment deals with, so as you find quotes that connect, jot them down. Use MLA format.

  9. Nightline Clip and Quick Write Does Morrie look like, speak, and/or act the way you imagined he would? Explain.

  10. Homework • Homework: • You need to read through page 47 and complete the dialectical journals handout. • We will have a quiz next class period. You may use your notes, but not your book.
