Deeper+Reading+Questions

Directions: Continue reading "Something to Declare" until its end. In your table groups, discuss the story. What are some questions you have?
 * What was surprising in the story?
 * Do you have experiences that are similar to the narrator's?
 * Are there any events mentioned in the story that you do not quite understand?
 * Did you find something funny?

After talking about some of these things, each student is to create a Deeper Reading Question. A Deeper Reading Question is a question that you have in your head about the story after reading it. You want to find out more, and it will require you to go back into the story to do so.

Example:

1. Why did the mother feel so disapproving of the beauty pageant contestants? 2. Would the narrator have been happier if she was born white skinned, blonde haired, and blue eyed? 3. How did the narrator's peers in school help change the way she felt about herself and the contestants? 4. What was the narrator's father like?

Each person should come up with 3 good Deeper Reading Questions. You have no other homework and tomorrow we will be using them in class on the KBC website.
