Levels of Thinking/Questioning : Level 1 - Readers can point to one correct answer right in the text. Level 2 - Readers infer answers from what the text states or find answers in several places in the text. Level 3 - Readers think beyond what the text states. Answers are based on reader’s prior knowledge/experience and will vary from person to person.
Level 1: Level One – Gathering Info. You can point to the answer in a book! Ex: Who was the Strait of Juan de Fuca named for?
Level 2: Level Two – Processing Info. Gather information from the book, but you might have to look in multiple places. Requires you to put together what you know. Ex: Compare and contrast the journeys of Captain Cook and Captain Vancouver.
Level 3: Level Three – Applying Knowledge Must use what you have learned + what you already knew. Ex: Use what you know about the exploration of Washington to infer why Lewis & Clark chose to come West.
