Module 2 Lesson 3: Developing Comprehension

Assignment 6
For the story you selected in Activity 2, plan a GPU discussion by formulating a set of
literal, inferential, critical, application or integrative, and creative questions about the
story.
On the GPU template, write your discussion questions in logical sequence; write the
possible answers to each question; and identify the type of question. Don't forget to
base your discussion plan on the expressive and instructional objectives that you have
set out to achieve.
Download your GPU template here.
Self-evaluation
Give yourself 2 points for every "resounding yes" answer, 1 point for a "somewhat yes"
answer, and 0 points for every "no" answer to each of the following questions:
The GPU starts with the answering of the Motive Question asked before the story is
read.
The questions are sequenced in a logical manner. The answer to the question triggers
the next question to be asked.
Different types of comprehension questions are asked throughout the GPU.
The questions in the GPU help achieve the stated objectives of the lesson.
Bonus: Can some of the engagement and enrichment activities that you thought of in
Activity 6 take the place of some of your questions in the GPU?
If you scored
8 points and above = Excellent work!
4-6 points = Good enough. You can still tweak your GPU to make it better.
3 and below = Please review the relevant parts of the lesson and revise your
assignment output as needed.
