Point to the answer
1 · Learn
Read this story: Leila packed a red scarf and a sandwich. At the station, her uncle gave her a small map. She put the map in her coat pocket before the train arrived.
Some answers are stated directly. Look for the exact words that answer the question. Do not choose a nearby detail just because you remember it.
2 · Worked example
Where did Leila put the map? The story says 'in her coat pocket'. Her sandwich is mentioned, but it does not answer the question.
3 · Your turn
Who gave Leila the map? What colour was her scarf?
Check your answer
Her uncle gave her the map. Her scarf was red.
4 · Apply your learning
Ask a partner one more question with an answer directly stated in this story. Point to the words that prove the answer.
