1. Question-Answer Relationships (QAR)
CRISS strategies that work using UDL practices
How are questions related to what we read?
How do you approach answering different types of questions?
How can we become better readers by asking questions?

11. Let’s see how it works in practice
Popcorn

12. Have you ever wondered why popcorn pops
Have you ever wondered why popcorn pops? Popping corn has more moisture inside each kernel than regular corn. As the kernel is heated, the water inside turns into steam. Pressure begins to build inside until the hard coat on the outside of the kernel explodes, turning inside-out. If you are careful about how you prepare it, popcorn turns out to be a very healthy snack --- higher in protein than ice cream or potato chips, without the fat and sugar. Air-popping is the best way to prepare popcorn because it doesn't require oil; this keeps the popcorn low in calories. To add a little zest to your snack, forget the butter or caramel flavors. Instead, try melting a few tablespoons of peanut butter and stirring that into your popcorn. Or add sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds.
