  1. Levels of Questions Catcher in the Rye

  2. Good Readers • As they read, good readers ask themselves questions • There are three levels of questions one can ask • Arbitrarily, let’s call them levels 1, 2 and 3.

  3. Level 1 Questions • Factual, information questions • Questions about basics: • Character – who? • Setting – where? When? • Plot – what happened? When? • Think of quiz questions: • “What is the name of the school that from which Holden is “getting the ax?”

  4. Level 2 Questions • Deeper, inferential questions about the text • The answer is not immediately obvious but requires deeper reflection • The answer is based on the text • May relate to the language the author uses (e.g., hyperbole, metaphor) or other techniques • Why and how the author’s style • For example: Why does Holden write about Allie’s baseball glove?

  5. Level 3 Questions • These are questions that go beyond the book • This level is all about connections: • to our own lives as readers • To current events • To historical events • To other texts (books, movies, plays, pictures) • For example: How would ECA deal with a student like Holden?

  6. Your task… • On Twitter, tweet two questions about chapters 4-6 • a level 2 (how/why) question ab0ut the text • a leve 3 question about connections (to you, to our school, our community, the 21st century) • Answer two questions from classmates • You cannot leave this until the morning of your class – it’s not fair to others to wait to finish their homework! • I will grade this for a homework check grade
