Junior+Great+Books

The type of question asked on the CST is questions of interpretation. Fact questions are too easy. Evaluation questions have no clear answer, because they depend upon the person answering the question!
 * Three levels of question**Remember, the three types of questions we will be asking and answering with Junior Great Books are:
 * 1) **Questions of Fact**
 * 2) **Questions of interpretation**
 * 3) **Questions of evaluation**

Use the handout below to review the three levels of questions.

**Here are the assessments for our Junior Great Book stories Series 5.**

**They will be posted here after they have been administered in class to study for future tests. These questions are written using the released question "stems" from the State of California's Standardized Test (CST). They are meant to prepare students for the rigor of "the state test." They are exponentially more difficult than previous assessments administered by the Open Court 2002 curriculum.**
