**How is it that you are able to answer such questions?
I am only able to answer the above questions by looking directly back at the text. By asking specific questions, it is necessary to refer back to the text to answer the questions directly. As a reader, these types of questions force students to look for the question in the text in order to find a specific answer.
**What does this experience suggest about the kinds of comprehension questions found in workbooks and on standardized tests?
This was a true eye-opening experience for me. At first, I was very overwhelmed with the unknown words presented in the text. After looking for the answers in the text, they were very straightforward. I believe that when standardized tests promote questions and passages like this one, it discourages students. When students do not know a word, they are use their context clues and either skip a word or read ahead. When questions are looking for specific answers, a student does not even have to know the meaning of a word to answer the question correctly. These types of questions do not promote critical thinking and there is no room for a creative, opinion response. These straightforward types of questions only require students to refer back to the text to "spit back an answer". All in all, I was very surprised by this activity and I believe it is a wonderful tool to see how readers respond.
