What are "Right There" Questions?
These questions require readers to find the answer *directly* within the text. They often involve:
* Identifying specific facts or details.
* Locating information in a particular sentence or paragraph.
* Understanding the literal meaning of the text.
Examples from *The Incredible Journey*:
* "What color was the Siamese cat?" (Answer: The book states the cat's color directly.)
* "What did the dogs eat when they were lost in the wilderness?" (Answer: The text will describe their food sources.)
* "Where did the journey begin?" (Answer: This requires identifying the starting point.)
* "How many animals were on the journey?" (Answer: You'll find the exact number stated.)
Important Note: "Right there" questions are different from inferential questions, which require readers to draw conclusions or make connections based on the text.
