Asking Questions In Reading
Asking Questions is when you see a text that you don't really understand or just wondering about things in the text. It also could be how people do amazing things that makes you question how the people do such things. Or it could be something simple like a typo, different fonts and much more simple things in writing.
If you don't ask questions then you will never know the true meaning of a book or a text in your favourite book.You have to question to be able to learn and if you don’t learn then your brain stays there doing nothing. If you ask questions then in your brain neurons (neurons are what makes your brain grow stronger and smarter at the same time they look like wires but in your brain) will connect together.
How We Learn (on the blog) look for… THE BRAIN THAT DOES THE WORK DOES THE LEARNING there will be a video underneath the words only if you want you can watch it and it tells you why neurons are important.
For example:This book that We are using is called the 26 story treehouse the text is
‘Sorry about the ride’’ says terry ‘I don't really know how to fly these things’’That's quite okay’ I said untangling myself from the tattered shards of rubber.’But what I want to know is why were you even wearing your emergency self inflating underpants?’ ‘because all my other underpants are dirty’ says terry.’That's why I was washing them rememberer?’ ‘Oh yeah’ I say ‘that seems like so long ago now’’It's only been two hundred pages’ Terry says.’Two hundred and thirteen actually says jill. ‘But there won’t be many more pages in this book if we don't protect the treehouse against the pirates look there already here. The end of the page!
My first question was what are self inflating underpants ?
Why do the pirates want to get the treehouse so badly?
What is the thing that terry is bad at flying?
So you should understand Asking Questions now!!
Fern this is a fantastic explanation of Asking Questions strategy. I really liked the example you used, and the questions you have come up with. I think Asking Questions is so important to help with your understanding of the text you are reading and you can get the most out of it x
ReplyDeleteGreat job Fern. I am about to talk to my reading class about this very strategy. Good readers think as they read and by asking questions you are proving that you can do this. I wonder if I could use your explanation in my class? Let me know what you think.
