high levels of questioning.
What do I do if the
answer isn’t right there

EXTREME SPORTS
Can you imagine rocketing down a city street at
sixty miles per hour, the speed of a car on the
freeway, lying on an overgrown skateboard just
inches away from the concrete? How about climbing
straight up a frozen waterfall? Or doing a flip on
your bike? Or jumping out of an airplane with a
snowboard attached to your feet?
Street lugers, ice climbers, BMX freestyle riders,
and sky surfers are part of the growing world of
extreme sports.
Just like other athletes, they devote a lot of time
to practicing and competing in their sports.
Many of these sports have been created only in
the past twenty-five years. Some sports, like street
luging, are all about speed and seeing who can go
the fastest. Other sports, like BMX freestyle riding
and sky surfing, are about style, or who can do the
fanciest stunts. Ice climbing competitors must have
both style to win.
ONE CAUTION
Teachers should be alert to the difference between showing
students what to do and telling them what to do. Research by
Barbara Taylor and her colleagues (Taylor, Peterson, Pearson, &
Rodriguez, 2002) underscores the important difference between
demonstrating and telling. Modeling and coaching encourage
higher levels of thinking, while telling and recitation reinforce
lower levels of thinking.

Now it’s your turn…
1. With your tables, determine how you will read our practice passage.
2. Together, generate at least one question for each of the four QAR types.
3. Ready yourselves to present out your work.
Tom has lived in Marysville his entire life. However, tomorrow, Tom andhis family would be moving 200 miles away to Grand Rapids. Tom hatedthe idea of having to move. He would be leaving behind his best friend,Ron, the baseball team he had played on for the last two years, and the bigswing in his backyard where he liked to sit and think.
And to make matters worse, he was moving on his birthday! Tom would be thirteen tomorrow.
He was going to be a teenager! He wanted to spend the day with his friends, not watching his house being packed up and put on a truck. He thought that moving was a horrible way to spend his birthday. What about a party? What about spending the day with his friends? What about what he wanted?
That was just the problem. No one ever asked Tom what he wanted.
I CAN generate and respond to
questions based on nonfiction and
fiction texts.
