1) First, tell us what part you are reading right now. What is happening in the part you just read?

2) What questions do you have at this point?

3) Where there any questions that have been asnwered already? Were they answered directly or indirectly with clues (inference)?

4) Reply to other posts and tell us if you agree or disagree with how other students' questions were answered.
