Think and Ask

Students read an informational passage about the Great Wall of China and create three types of questions: literal, inferential, and evaluative. This activity strengthens understanding of question levels and how each type deepens comprehension. Students must analyze the text to extract facts, make inferences, and form judgments supported by reasoning. The worksheet encourages them to think critically about historical structures and their cultural significance. By crafting their own questions, learners practice metacognition and active reading strategies. The activity also reinforces the difference between observation and interpretation. It is a strong introduction to inquiry-based learning with informational text.
