The Borrowers: Questioning
Hello Literature Circle A Members,
During shared reading we have been learning how to question. Yesterday when we went over the ITT tests, you saw that some questions about the text you read are better than others. As we move into Chapter 8, what are 3-4 DEEP questions that you have that we could discuss as a group? Use these starters to help you form your questions:
Why...
How come...
I wonder...
Where...
Will...
Who...
What...
Please work hard today to try to get these posted so that we can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Chapter 5: The Borrowers
Hello Readers,
At one time the Borrowers lived all over the house. Some seemed wealthier than
others. Why do you think this is? Why aren’t these families here anymore?
I'm looking for a full response with great thinking.
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Chapter 3: The Borrowers
Hello Literature Circle A,
We just finished reading chapter 3 of The Borrowers. On page 25 Homily tells her daughter, Arrietty, "You don't know-and thank goodness will never know what it's like upstairs..."
Based on this portion of the text please respond to the following in a paragraph: Why do you think Arrietty has never been upstairs? Why do you think Homily doesn't want her daughter to ever go upstairs? Lastly, please predict if you think that it is true that Arrietty will never go upstairs and why you think that.
Please push your thinking to answer this question fully. I can't wait to read your responses.
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston
