♥ 'Right there' multiple choice questions -answers are in the text
♥ 'On my own' questions - answers are not in the text. Students use their prior knowledge to answer questions.
♥ 'Author and you' questions – answer not directly in the text. Students find answers by using their prior knowledge and fitting together clues from the text.

This kit includes two sets of thirty-two task cards, teacher instructions and student response sheet and answer sheet. The sets are available in full color or colored graphics with white background. The first 16 questions are in the form of multiple choice and include an answer sheet. Students use the student response sheet provided to answer the questions. For the remaining task cards students are to write in their journals or on the writing paper provided as the answers require more detail and explanation. There is no answer sheet for these task cards because student responses will vary.
