Today for reading we had to answer some comprehension questions about a text. Above is a picture of my comprehension questions and my answers (please note: Miss Thompson has not put the answers up for obvious reasons).
Answering comprehension questions are an excellent way of seeing how much of the text you have understood. When I answer comprehension questions about a text I often re-read certain parts of the text to find the answer. Miss Thompson always tell us "It is not a memory test", so it is important to go back and find the answers if you can not remember. Re-reading and finding the answers makes me understand the text better as I have a purpose for reading and it makes me think critically about the question that is being asked.
