3H Reading Strategy – Head Questions – Character Focus<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

When evaluating a reading comprehension activity you have to ask the question, <\/span><\/p>\n

‘Is this activity teaching the students how to comprehend or are they simply seeking and finding answers?’ <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This set of ‘Head’ question stems are based on the 3H Reading\u00a0Strategy<\/a><\/strong> and they aid the exploring of character. I like to have students create questions for their peers and then discuss them as well as using the questions I make up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on Character:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

– What do you think motivates (character) in (situation)?<\/span>
\n– Did (character’s) motives change throughout the text? How?<\/span>
\n– Do you think (character) should have…? Why or why not?<\/span>
\n– If you are a TV reporter, what questions would you ask (character)?<\/span>
\n– What did (character) mean by the expression (‘……………………..’)?<\/span>
\n– (Character) believes… What is the counterargument to this view?<\/span>
\n– If you were (character) what would you have said to (another character) when (the incident occurred)?<\/span>
\n– What can you learn from this author about character development?<\/span><\/p>\n
