WALT: READ AND COMPREHEND A TEXT. WILF: I CAN ANSWER LITERAL QUESTION ABOUT A TEXT I CAN ANSWER QUESTION THAT INFERENCE ABOUT A TEXT
TYPES OF QUESTIONS Literal questions- Literal questions have responses that are directly stated in the text. For example you may get a question asking what are the characters names? Inference questions- inferential questions have responses that are indirectly stated, induced, or require other information. For example in a text it might tell you that the character was shivering and a question might be how was the character feeling? So you would infer that the character is cold.
