QAR

Now that we have been practicing QAR in the classroom, let's see what you can do on your own at home!

Read for 20 minutes.  Record the title and author of your book.  Then, create a question, an answer and tell me the QAR that would work for that question/answer relationship.  Be sure to tell me WHY you think that is the best QAR for the question and answer  you created.

Example:
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
Why did Charlotte want to come up with a plan to help save Wilber's life?
She thought Wilber was a fun, sensitive, kind pig who deserved to live.
QAR- Think and Search
I know this because I had to look for example throughout the book that told me what Charlotte thought about Wilber.
