1. Review the story. Think about the questions you'll ask the class.
   • Have you included questions that relate to main ideas and supporting details?
   • Have you thought about questions that will promote class discussion and critical thinking?
2. You might want to use the visualizing or summarizing strategies used in the Comprehension module to develop text comprehension.
