EXAMPLE QUESTIONS

These are example questions from last year for you to model your questions after. Think about the big picture.

from Jonathan: In the intro to Stranger Than Fiction the author talks about groups of people who get together because they have a common interest ("music, writing, theater") or the same problem ("sex addicts, alzheimer patients"). He said to get inspiration to write his stories he actually went to vistit these groups. do you think the author of your book visited a certain enviornment to get inspiration for the book? What kind of groups have you been a part of because of a common interest?

from Brittany: In chapter 2, "The Hood" in Our America, LeAlan Jones compares the Ida B. Wells housing projects, because of the shootings that take place during the summer months, to Vietnam.As a reader, from what you have read so far, do you find the living conditions, where the boys live, to be acceptable? As a young person living in America, do you feel uncomfortable hearing that one of America's leading cities' public housing developments was once compared to Vietnam?
