Reader’s Questions

Worksheet Description

The “Answering Reader’s Questions” worksheet is a tool designed for writers to scrutinize their draft manuscripts with the aim of ensuring all critical questions posed within the narrative are adequately addressed. It instructs the writer to note every element in the story that requires an answer, solution, or explanation. As the writer reads through their draft, they are prompted to record these points and mark where in the manuscript these issues are resolved, ensuring that no loose ends are left by the end of the story.

This worksheet is teaching students to be methodical and thorough in their approach to revising their narratives. It encourages attention to detail and critical thinking, pushing students to consider the reader’s perspective and potential questions that may arise during the reading. The worksheet’s process ensures that the narrative is cohesive and all elements introduced are accounted for and resolved by the story’s conclusion. The ultimate goal is to foster a habit of reflective revision in students, which is crucial for effective storytelling.
