Predict:  Write down what you think might happen next.  If a prediction turns out to be right or wrong later on, make note of it.

Visualize: Use your imagination.  Create picture in your head.  Write down or draw the images that come to mind.

Connect:  Are you the same or different?  Can you relate?  What would you do?

Question: Ask why?  What don't you understand?  Then I can help.

Clarify: Summarize a paragraph in one sentence.  Write down the main idea or theme so far.  Make an inference (draw a conclusion about that culture, time or place).

Evaluate:  Form your own opinion about characters, events, time periods and cultures and express it in a thoughtful and appropriate way.
