 **Three KEY Questions**

**What does it say? Literally..........** Understanding the literal meaning of the text is necessary to get to the deeper meaning of the text. It is the basis of the next question.

**What does it mean? Interpretations..........** Support the ideas of what it means by going back to the text and finding evidence.This is a deeper interaction with the text.

**What does it matter? Why is it important? Reflection.........** Reflection lets you go beyond the words and yourself to find the importance of the text.
