Learning Objective
I can explore ask and answer where and when questions.
Today we will learn about ask and answer where and when questions. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.
Asking and answering questions about a text builds deep comprehension. Key question types: Who? (identifies people/characters), What? (identifies events, objects, actions), Where? (identifies place or setting), When? (identifies time), Why? (identifies reasons and causes), How? (identifies methods or processes). Before reading, preview questions to know what to look for. During reading, pause to answer questions mentally. After reading, re-check your answers against the text. Being able to answer these questions proves true understanding—not just word recognition.
Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!
Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
