Levels of Thinking
==#1 Formulates questions about issues, about author's viewpoint, about connections to text, and seeks to answer those questions through active inquiry. == ==#2 Judges and assesses characters/situations/issues/claims against own personal standards, often sharing advice, criticism, empathy, or disparity. == ==#3 Reacts to the text as a literary work and, if reading fiction, addresses literary elements (conflicts, setting, theme, characters, structure...) and the language/rhetorical techniques (diction, figurative language, description, appeals, claims...) used in the text. ==

#6 Shares relevant research/readings to address questions/connections to historical context, the author, allusions.
==#7 Engages with the characters by talking to them, giving advice, or telling how he/she might behave in the same circumstance; for nonfiction, engages the author by agreeing or disagreeing. ==

#8 Making sound predictions based on information from the text and validates or refutes those predictions in later responses.
