4. Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) Students learn to identify four question types: 1.Right there – answers are explicitly found in the text. 2.Think and search – students have to read several sentences to derive the answer. 3.Author and you – students required to infer from or interpret the context, students draw on background knowledge. 4.On your own – the response lies solely within the realm of the students own thinking.
