Reading Objective Students will read a fiction novel of choice and learn the three levels of questioning to “Cinderella” then apply that to their own novel. Writing Objective Students will be able to create a story of their own choosing.

AGENDA Warm Up: Editing Sheet (5 minutes) Writer’s Notebook: Write a story using plot created or create new plot outline and begin new story. (30 minutes) Read: Fiction Novel of Choice(35 minutes) ML: Three Levels of Questioning with “Cinderella” (20 minutes) I will be checking Binders and Writers Notebook today! HW: None

The Three Levels of Questions: (AKA The Cinderella exercise)

Level I: Recall The answer is in the text; explicit, fact (fully and clearly expressed; leaving nothing implied) What were Cinderella's slippers made out of? How did Cinderella get to the ball?

Level II: Analysis/Inference Students make interpretations based upon details from the text. (The act or process of deriving conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true) Implicit or what is implied; analysis, ask how and why, reading between the lines, hidden meaning. (understood though not directly expressed) Why does Cinderella's stepmother care whether or not she goes to the ball? Why did everything turn back the way it was except the glass slipper? Why don't the step sisters like Cinderella?

Level III: Synthesis Go beyond the text and inquire into the value, importance and application of the information presented. Does a woman's salvation always lie with a man? What does it mean to live happily ever after? Does good always overcome evil?

Your Turn! Homework: Write 3 questions on ________________________, 1 from each level of questioning.
