Question - Answer - Relationship (QAR)- Right there
- the answer is stated directly in the text, usually in a single sentence. The answer to this thin question is usually short.
- Think and search
- the answer is stated directly in the text, but may use other words, have parts located in several sentences, or have parts in different sections. The answer to this thin question will be longer than right there answers.
- Author and you
- the answer is not directly stated in the text. You have to connect what is in your experience or background knowledge with what is in the text. This is a thick question. The answer is long.
- On your own
- the answer is not in the text, but grows out of it and the thinking/ investigating it has stimulated. The reader synthesizes information gained from the reading with other knowledge in constructing a creative response. The answer to this thick question may be very long.
