When good writers answer questions about a text, they know they need to be thorough! Since this is a form of responding to literature, the purpose is to demonstrate our understanding of a text (a.k.a. prove we're an expert) by informing our readers about our thinking. We know these responses must be text-based, supported by evidence, and include lots of our own words to explain our thinking.
Good writers also know that our responses should always include an answer statement. Answer statements work like main idea statements, or topic sentences. The easiest way to do this is to turn the question around into a statement. For instance, if they question asks:
What is the theme of The Polar Express?
A good writer might begin their response like this:
The theme of The Polar Express is ____.
All of the other sentences in their response would be explaining how they know this is the theme, referring to details from the story and occasionally quoting specific sentences or phrases from the text.
Reader-writers, could the RUPR help us respond to these questions? If so, how?
Yes. It can help us by reading over the story, underlining the parts that can help us find it,and there you go! just put the clues together and you have a theme!
