Signposts: Tough Questions

Tough Questions

When you're reading and the character asks himself a really difficult question.  You should always stop and ask yourself: 

"What does this question make me wonder about?"

The answers will tell you about the conflict and might give you ideas about what will happen later in the story.

Let's Practice

Listen to Knots on a Counting Rope by Bill Martian Jr..
  • Stop and ask yourself, "What does this question make me wonder about?" 
  • How does your answer to the question help tell you about the conflict and give you ideas about what will happen later in the story?
