Ah well, just another day in the faraway kingdom of Garren. The Explorers team from Mrs. Colon’s class—Rachel, Carlos, Kate, and Eli—are reading about the adventures of Jackson and Charlotte in Sir Robert’s Treasure. In fact, you might say they really get into this story. Mrs. Colon gives great rewards for academic accomplishments, and the Explorers are determined to earn the one she’s promised for the best presentation on Sir Robert’s Treasure at next week’s Readers Club. But what should their presentation be? A book report? Too ordinary. A summary of the story? What can they do to impress Mrs. Colon? “I’ve got it!” cries Kate. “We’ll ask the other kids questions about the story to see what they’ve learned!” And so begins the Explorers’ quest to learn as much as they can about asking questions so they can earn the reward. Your students will learn about questioning along with the Explorers. And who knows what treasure awaits the readers who master this powerful strategy?
