Checklist for Generating Questions:
Use words like who, what, when, where, why, and how to generate questions before, during, and after reading to ensure
understanding and gain information.
Before reading, you may ask questions about the title, author and genre of the text.
During reading, you’ll probably think about what you understand or don’t understand about things like:
-characters, setting, plot, conflict, or resolution in works of fiction.
--For example: Why is this character so angry about what’s happening?
-individuals, main idea, organization, informational text elements, or subheadings in works of informational text.
For example: What is the main idea of this section?
After reading, think about any questions you still have that remain unanswered. You may wish to reread parts of the text to help you find or infer the answers. You may also consider questions that are left unanswered and choose to reread parts of the text to improve your understanding.
