QAR for The Color Purple

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Have you heard of the QAR strategy? If your class is reading The Color Purple, provide them with this two-page activity to get them thinking. With the strategy, readers are introduced to four types of questions (right there, think and search, on my own, and author and you). Unfortunately, the text section is not specified for this resource.
