What are you doing?
It looks like you're eating all the cookies.
You want to help me with my whole work?
Sure.
What do I have to do?
Just ask me these questions at the end of the kids' page.
Okay.
Number one.
Where is the Statue of Liberty located?
Easy.
That's a right there question.
What's that?
A right there question.
It's what we're studying in reading class right now.
See, there are three different types of questions.
Some have answers that are right there on the page,
and some have answers you've got to search around a bit for.
And some have answers you've got to figure out on your own.
You asked a right there question.
The Statue of Liberty is in New York City
and is a beacon of freedom for all.
What's a beacon?
Have to look it up.
Hey, the ring.
My children, you must hurry to the land of Moses.
For Zul is once again unleashing his despicable tyranny.
He's being mean and nasty.
Hurry, my children.
Let's go.
What about your homework?
I can do it when I get back.
Come on.
Clean up.
Come on.
Thunder and lightning.
Trumpets and drones.
Reduce rejoice.
A story Lord comes.
Who are you?
I'm Norbert Nieg
and Lady Nieg
who are predecessor at your service.
How sweet.
I'm Minnie Gwyn, but you can call me Min.
And I'm Winnie Fred Gwyn, but you can call me Min.
We're Minnie Gwyn.
The Gwyn twins.
Well, how can we help you?
I don't need any help. Neither do I.
You don't?
Wait, I don't, Norbert.
But you're in the magic picture.
Maybe they're my sister.
Yes, we do.
Her name is Lynn, but she's not in.
I don't understand it.
Well, I guess we better be off.
Sorry to have bothered.
Before you go, could I speak to you in private?
Of course.
I was going to ask you the same thing.
I don't want my sister to know about this.
They would upset her too much.
Dear men, I have a red summer cake and a blue winter cake.
Which one should I wear?
Signed for a zoo.
There's no way to answer this question.
But if I don't, for a zoo, I'll talk to you.
I know.
Turn you to stone.
Up to his old tricks as usual.
Dear wind, it snowed last night.
What color capes should I wear outside?
Signed for a zoo.
If my sister found out about this, she'd be very upset.
But how can I answer this question?
I don't really think you have to worry.
You don't?
No, we can probably take care of this.
Norby!
Um, didn't you say the other day that you had a reading class?
Um, didn't you say the other day that you had a reading class
on how to answer questions?
Uh-huh.
This is a frame which said there are three different ways
to find answers to questions on what you're reading.
Today, we're going to learn about ways to find answers to questions.
First, I'd like you all to read what's on the board.
To yourselves, don't read out loud.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Is everyone finished?
Good.
Now, who can tell me what present
Megan got for Christmas?
Jason.
She got new mittens.
Is that what everyone thinks?
Jason, can you read the part that proves you're right?
Megan got new mittens for Christmas.
Good for you, Jason.
You found a sentence that tells us exactly what Megan got for Christmas.
Many times, we can find the answers to questions
right in one sentence.
We have a special name for those kinds of questions.
We call them right there questions.
And if you forget the answer to a right there question,
you don't have to worry.
You just reread the sentence
and you'll find the answer right there on the page.
Now, I have another question for you.
What did Megan's mittens feel like inside?
Robert?
They felt furry.
Can you tell us how you got that answer?
I don't see a sentence up there that says Megan's mittens felt furry inside.
Well, I put two sentences together.
The one that says she got the mittens,
not one says they had fur inside,
so that's how they must have felt.
You're a good reader, Norbert.
You didn't find the answer to my question in one sentence.
So you put the ideas from two sentences together
and thought about it.
We call those questions think and search questions.
You have to think about what you read and search carefully for ideas to use
in making up your answer.
Now, here's a hard one.
What do you think the weather is like when Megan wears her mittens to school?
Angie.
Wet and rainy?
Jason?
I think it's cold outside.
Maybe wintertime.
How did you get that answer, Jason?
Because it says the mittens have fur, so they must be warm.
If you wear them in the rain, your hands would get too hot.
I'd done that before.
If it was cold out, then you'd wear mittens like that.
Very good, Jason.
You didn't find the answer to my question in any of the sentences.
So you thought about what you read and about what you know
and you put them together to get your answer.
We call those kinds of questions on your own questions.
Now, let's look at these three kinds of questions together.
Who can tell me how do you find an answer to a right there question?
Norbert, you find a sentence that has the answer in it.
Good.
How about a think and search question?
Angie?
The answer is in one sentence, so you put different ideas from different sentences together.
Very good.
And what about an on your own question?
Jason?
The answer isn't in any sentence, so you have to think about what you read
and what you already know and try to get an answer.
Very good, all of you.
Before you try to answer any question,
think about what type of question it is.
Thinking about what type of question you have to answer
will help you figure out the answer better.
Now, let's get out our reading books, turn to page 20.
We'll help you figure out how to answer that question.
Well, here's my question.
You two, here's mine.
Look, he asked us the same question.
What color cape should I wear?
Now all we have to do is figure out what type of question it is.
Hmm.
It's not a right there question because when you read each sentence,
you sure don't find an answer.
Maybe it's a think and search question.
Here he says he wears a red cape in summer and a blue one in winter.
And here it says it's snow last night.
If it's snowed, it must be winter.
That blue cape.
I have just the thing.
Hurry, I think you know who.
Just arrived.
Announcing his royal badness.
The one and only the master of disaster.
The prince of panic.
The hardest-working story lord in mode juice.
No prayer.
Sorry, boss.
Thor's soul.
Uh-huh.
Well.
You're in luck.
We had one in just your size.
Extra large.
And would you like matching ear muffs and mittens for those cold wintery days?
You answered my question.
It's impossible.
Not when you stop and think about what type of question is first.
You know, a right there question.
A think and search question.
And an annual question.
Yours was a think and search question.
You too. Again.
I think we'd better be going.
Don't forget to show on the matching scarf.
Oh.
Ugh.
I think we have color coordinated dickies too.
Milk breath, get me out of here.
By any chance, would you have one of those outfits with purple polka dots?
Oh.
