The Front Desk (by Kelly Yang) chapter questions will give students repeated opportunities to practice essential literacy skills aligned to the Common Core State Standards. For every chapter grouping, students will have to answer rigorous, text-based questions that assess not only their ability to comprehend but also their ability to analyze key events. With numerous options for implementation, the resource also allows for differentiation and can enable accommodation that will meet the needs of all learners.
 
Comprehension & Analysis Questions: For the novel, Front Desk, these differentiated chapter questions can offer several different uses. It could supply homework, facilitate guided reading groups, enable literature circles, or stimulate whole class reading analysis and discussion for each chapter grouping. The flexibility also makes it ideal for offering accommodations to students.
 
There are two sets of questions for each reading: Reading Response A (comprehension) and Reading Response B (analysis). The twin sets offer different levels of challenge for students to give you options for meeting the needs of all your learners. All 46 assignments include 8 questions that require close reading of the text, which means your students will always be practicing essential skills aligned to the CCSS, such as:
  • Identifying main idea and support using details from the text
  • Identifying and analyzing how elements of a story interact
  • Identify and analyze conflict and types of conflict
  • Analyze character and make inferences about character motivation
  • Identify themes of the text and explain the lesson learned
  • Identify and analyze point of view
  • Make inferences based on textual evidence
  • Analyze tone and determine the meaning of words, phrases, and figurative language
 
Reading Response A – Visualize the Text Section: Each comprehension assignment also asks students to identify an example of figurative language or imagery and draw a visualization of their example. This is a great way to have students use their imagination and get them to “see” what the author is trying to convey. NOTE: Modified for digital format.
 
Reading Response B – Critical Questions Section: Each analysis assignment includes a graphic organizer for students to identify an aspect of the text that makes them curious. After identifying a reference, description, or event from the novel, students will generate questions about their reference. In doing so, students will develop their critical thinking skills by connecting and questioning topics and issues in the text. The exercise can also serve as a springboard for clarifying misconceptions, research, discussion, and much more.
 
Mini-Quizzes: The mini-quizzes are a way to test students’ comprehension of the text. This space can be used for the single question quizzes provided in the resource. There are multiple potential uses that could fit the needs of your classroom. (NOTE: The digital version is not formatted to allow for students to complete the quizzes online. However, as you have access to all the questions, you can still use the content and determine the best method to deliver it.)
 
Answer Key: The key provides potential answers for every question asked in every assignment. This includes comprehension quiz questions and analytic questions. Of course, not all analytic questions have just one answer. Part of the strength of the analysis question is the room they leave for students to demonstrate their unique thinking. Therefore, use the answers at your discretion but know they provide a solid foundation for the type of performance that makes for quality work. 
 
Digital Links: This resource is also technology friendly! It can be utilized in classrooms where computers or tablets are central to instruction because the resource has been adapted for digital completion. The resource includes links for students to complete the assignments in Google Slides™. For instance, students can work with the documents in Google Drive™ or via Google Classroom™. With these links, you can have students complete their work online. All they will have to do is create a text box! There are links for every student work page (not mini-quizzes), making the format friendly not only for technology but also trees.
 
The entire resource and its inclusive set of questions allow for multiple potential uses based on your determination about when and where it would be most helpful, either in-class or for homework. All aspects of the assignments, though, are aligned to the Common Core State Standards in order for students to have ample opportunities to practice and demonstrate their knowledge across numerous, essential literary skills.
