  2. Questions • When reading, a helpful way to check your understanding or to get a better understanding of the text is to ask questions. • There are four types of questions that are important to know • Literal questions • Interpretive questions • Evaluative questions • Universal questions

  3. Literal Questions • Literal questions have only one possible answer that can be proven in the text. • Examples: • What is Sadako’s last name? • Where does Sadako live? • How old is Masahiro? • With a partner, ask three literal questions and have your partner give the answers then switch roles.

  4. Interpretive Questions • Interpretive questions have more than one possible answer, but they can be proven with text evidence. • Examples: • How does Sadako handle the Peace Day events? • In what ways do Sadako’s parents show her support? • With a partner, ask an interpretive question and have them explain their answer using text evidence then switch roles.

  5. Evaluative Questions • Evaluative questions ask opinions. • Examples: • Should Sadako have told her parents as soon she started feeling dizzy? • Do you think Chizuko was really Sadako’s best friend if Sadako didn’t tell Chizuko her secret? • With a partner ask an evaluative question and get their opinion and then switch roles.

  6. Universal Questions • A universal question is a type of question that most people wonder. A universal question often has no real answer that all people can agree on. • Examples: • Are good luck symbols real? • What is friendship? • With a partner, ask a universal question and get their answer then switch roles.
