Restart Chapter Questions – Snapshot of Included Resources:

  • 15 Comprehension Assignments (A)
  • Visualization Organizer (A)
  • 15 Analysis Assignments (B)
  • Critical Connections Organizer (B)
  • 8 Questions per Assignment
  • 1-Question Quizzes to Check for Understanding
  • Discussion Questions – 15 (1 per Reading) & 12 Whole Novel
  • Digital Links for Google Forms™
  • Answer Keys
The Restart chapter and discussion questions will give students repeated opportunities to practice essential standards-aligned literacy skills during a novel study. For every chapter grouping of Restart by Gordon Korman (2 chapters), 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: The Restart differentiated chapter questions can offer several different uses for a novel study. 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 15 readings: Restart Chapter Questions A (comprehension) and Restart Chapter Questions 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 30 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
 
Chapter Questions 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.
 
Chapter Questions B – Critical Connections 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.
 
Discussion Questions: The Restart discussion questions provide open-ended prompts to deeply explore the themes and conflicts prominent in Restart. The resources include one prompt for every reading (15) and 12 questions for whole novel analysis. The 15 reading discussion questions are provided in two different formats – graphic organizers and task cards – that will allow flexible implementation. The whole novel discussion questions are provided as task cards. Use the questions for independent work, small group or whole class discussion, reflection, homework, or more.
 
One-Question Reading Checks: 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 chapter assignment. This includes comprehension quiz questions and analytic questions but does not include discussion 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. 
 
Google Forms™ Links: This resource is also technology friendly! It can be utilized in classrooms or formats 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 Forms™. For instance, students can work with the documents in Google Drive™ or via Google Classroom™. With these links, you can have students complete their assignments online. All they will have to do is fill out the Google Form™. There are links for every assignment, 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 for a Restart novel study 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.
