Directions: These questions can be recorded and answered in student notebooks, used as a carousel, or jigsaw activity. Text Dependent Questions Answers Using the illustration and text on page 3, describe the wolf at the beginning of the story. The wolf was tired and hungry. His feet ached from lots of walking and he had very little money for food. He is also not wearing any clothing or glasses. His only possession is the sack on the end of his stick and he is by himself. How does the illustration on page 13 help you to understand why the farm animals might not have been impressed with the Wolf’s reading? The Wolf’s book has a silly picture on the front of it, and it is small. The other animals’ books are bigger, they look older, and it looks like they have a lot of writing on each page. This makes it look like their books are much harder to read, whereas the wolf’s book looks like a little kid’s book. What evidence does the illustrator provide on pages 15 and 19 to show that Wolf continued to be motivated to learn how to read? On page 15, the illustration shows Wolf looking confident with a stack of books at the library. Wolf is using his reading glasses to examine the books. On page 19, the illustration shows Wolf using his money to buy his own book. This shows that he is motivated and determined to learn how to read. Wolf! by Becky Bloom

Quote: From page 14: “Baby looks down the road. The car has disappeared. Mr. Watson and Mercy are gone.” “Folly,” says Eugenia Lincoln. She shakes her fist. “It is folly, I say.” “Yes, Sister,” says Baby. “But secretly, Baby Lincoln thinks that a little folly wouldn’t be a bad thing.” Questions I have: _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________
