Discussion Question Concept Attainment

Look at the following examples. The examples in the “yes” column are examples of the concept I want you to understand. The examples in the no column are not. Yes How might the main character in the story react if she hadn’t known the details about the event? Why might the narrator choose to make “Earth sandwiches with someone on the other side of the world.” How will the main character’s mother cope with the fact that her son has rebelled against the family’s wishes? What would you do if you were in the main character’s position?

No What is the main character’s name? What did Laura say to her mother when she talked to her on the phone? Why does Jimmy claim to be afraid of heights? When can the main character leave the hospital?

Testers When would it be acceptable for the main character to resort to violence? Where did Ms.Barker buy her shoes? How would the villain justify his actions? How can Billy redeem himself? What is Jake’s explanation for burning down the convenience store? How would you describe the author’s attitude toward the subject matter?
