QAR Question Prompts

In the Book Questions

Right ThereThese are basic recall questions. The answer

is in one place and often the words from thequestion and the answer are in the same

sentence. For example:

Where does this person live?

What does this person do for a living?

When does this story take place?

Think and Search

These answers can be found in the text, but

involve higher level thinking likecomparing/contrasting, drawing inferences,

describing the mood, setting, or symbolism.For example:

What are the important ideas in this text?

What are the character traits that you see in

the main character?

What does this person look like?

What kinds of challenges did the personface?

What are the persons major

accomplishments?

How can you prove that this person is (brave,loyal, kind, etc.)?

Based on the text, what conclusion can youdraw about...?

What clues in the text help us understand the

word...?

What does this article mostly describe...?

In Your Head Questions

Author and Me

The answer is not in the text. Students must

think about what they learned from the text

and what they know to generate an answer.

For example:

Why did the author...?

What was the most surprising part of thebook or article?

If you could interview the author, a

character, historical figure, or person ofinterest what would you ask?

If you could add to, take away, or change a

part of the book or article what would you

change and why?

What questions do you still have about this

topic?

Why should/shouldnt people (use something

from the article exercise every day, bite

their fingernails, etc.)?

On My Own

The answer is not in the text. Students must

rely solely on their own interpretationexperience to answer the question. For

example:

Have you ever...(done something brave,competed in sports, climbed a mountain, etc.)?

What was it?

When have you (felt proud, rode your bike forthe first time, felt ashamed, etc.)?

What do you think it would be like to...(climb a

mountain, fly a plane, compete in theOlympics)?

What do you think about...(kids having a hobby

that could be possibly dangerous, etc.)?
