Take these notes in your Writer's Notebook:

Costa's Questions is a questioning framework we use at Homestead High School. In this framework, there are three levels of questions.

- Level 1: Gathering Questions
  - These are clarifying, close-ended questions. There is a "right" answer which can usually be found in one place.
  - Ex: How did Curt Lemon die?
- Level 2: Processing Questions
  - These are open-ended questions that invite multiple interpretations. These ask you to connect multiple points in the text and to analyze their meaning.
  - Ex: The narrator retells the story of Curt Lemon’s death several times. How does it change with each retelling? How does retelling that scene in different ways contribute to the story as a whole?
- Level 3: Applying Questions
  - These are open-ended questions that ask a student to extend their knowledge beyond the text. These include questions that ask a student to make text to text, text to world, and text to self connections.
  - Ex: Is it essential that a story be rooted in fact? What is the difference between story-truth and happening-truth?
