Chunking Sheet Guidelines
| What I liked…
Use complete sentences to explain any event(s) in the ‘chunk’ you enjoyed. It could be when a character said or did something that was interesting to you. Explain your likes with evidence from what you read or reasons! ~ Minimum 3 sentences. |
|
What I disliked… Use complete sentences to explain any event(s) in the ‘chunk’ you disliked. It could be when a character said or did something that you simply did not like. Explain your dislikes with evidence from what you read or reasons! ~ Minimum 3 sentences. |
|
Puzzles or Questions… Use complete sentences (and a question mark at the end) to write 3 powerful questions. These questions are things that puzzled you. Remember that powerful questions usually begin with HOW or WHY. Powerful questions do not have a one word answer.
~ Minimum 2 questions. |
|
Patterns… Use complete sentences to explain any patterns you found in this ‘chunk.’ Patterns might include story events, words / phrases a character repeats, or how the author writes. Explain your patterns with evidence or reasons! ~ Minimum 2 sentences. |
