Activating Prior Knowledge For Narrative, Characters and Questions.

We are leaning to ask questions before, during and after reading to engage with the text and make inferences. Also to look deeper at characters to see how they develop and impact a story.

We have talked about Narratives, Characters and Questions and what our prior knowledge is for those topics.
NARRATIVES
I know that Narratives are FICTION stories and they can contain mythical creatures such as dragons or unicorns.
CHARACTERS
I know that Characters are the people or creatures in the story. They have a name and generally their own special personality. In most Narratives I know there are princesses and princes living in great big castle.
QUESTIONS
We have talked a lot about questions and what I know is that there are 2 different types of questions. "Right" there questions and "Think and search" questions. Right there questions are where the answer is in the text and think and search questions aren't in the text but basically the name of the question "Think and search" gives what it means away.

If there is anything else you know about Narratives, Characters or Questions please let me know in the comments below.
