Signpost #1 Continued…

Contrasts & Contradictions & The Unexpected

 You should stop and ask yourself:  “Why is the character doing that?” OR “Why are the characters so different from each other?” OR “Why would the author choose to do this?”  The answers could help you make a prediction or make an inference about the plot and conflict and author’s purpose. Possible ANCHOR QUESTIONS

With your shoulder partner:

Partner #1: What should you notice

about contrasts and contradictions

when reading?

Partner #2: What questions should you

stop and ask yourself?

Stop! Notice and Note Signpost #2 :

Aha Moment

 When you are reading and suddenly a character realizes, understands, or finally figures something out (an “Ah-ha!”) …  You should stop and ask yourself:  “How might this realization be important or change things?”  If the character figured out a problem, you probably just learned about the CONFLICT.  If the character understood a life lesson, you probably just learned the THEME. ANCHOR QUESTION

With your shoulder partner:

Partner #1: What does Aha mean?

Partner #2: What questions should you

stop and ask yourself?

Stop! Notice and Note Signpost #3 : Tough Questions  When you are reading and the character is confused or uncertain and asks him/herself a difficult question that doesn’t have an easy answer… (the answer may shape his/her life)…  You should stop and ask yourself:  “What does this question tell me about the character?” OR “How might the character answer it?” OR “How might the answer affect the story?”  The answers will tell you about the CONFLICT and might foreshadow later events. Possible ANCHOR QUESTIONS

With the student behind or in front of you:

Partner #1: What question should you

Partner #2: What will the answers tell

Stop! Notice and Note Signpost #4 : Words of the Wiser  When you are reading and a character takes the main character aside and gives serious advice that is helpful at this moment in the story but could also be helpful throughout life…  You should stop and ask yourself:  “What’s the life lesson, and how might it affect the character?”  Whatever the lesson is, you’ve probably

found a THEME for the story.

Notice and Note Signpost #5 : Again and Again  When you are reading and you notice a word, phrase, object, situation, or idea mentioned over and over …  You should stop and ask yourself:  “Why does this keep showing up again and again?”  The answers will tell you about the THEME and CONFLICT, or they might foreshadow what will happen later.
