I asked my 6th graders today what it means if a book "makes sense" or "do you understand". The majority thought it wasn't a good question :) Most of their answers involved things like: Do you know what the book is about? Does the book stay on topic? Is it too easy or too hard? Do I get the point of the book? The person asking doesn't understand the book. I tried to pinpoint them more on what "understand" and "getting it means", but we mostly went in circles. It was interesting to hear their thoughts. I'd like to find a way to word the question better and see if I can get them to think deeper about it. Cindy
