What type of questions are described as "feedback from the author and your knowledge"?

  1. Right There

  2. Think and Search

  3. Author and You

  4. On My Own

The correct answer is: Author and You

The description "feedback from the author and your knowledge" refers specifically to the type of questions designed to encourage students to engage with the text by connecting their own experiences and insights to the content presented by the author. This category highlights the interactive aspect of reading comprehension, where students are not only recalling information but also synthesizing it with their own understanding and viewpoints. These questions challenge students to reflect on what the author conveys while integrating their own knowledge or personal context, ultimately fostering deeper comprehension and analytical skills. This interaction enhances critical thinking as students are prompted to form a personal perspective based on the text, leading to a richer understanding of the material.
