The Gettysburg AddressFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.(see handout)

Kansas State Department of Educationwww.ksde.org
Text-Dependent Questions...Can only be answered with evidence from the text.
Can be literal (checking for understanding) but must also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation.
Focus on word, sentence, and paragraph, as well as larger ideas, themes, or events.
Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency.
Can also include prompts for writing and discussion questions.
Kansas State Department of Educationwww.ksde.org
Three Types of Text-Dependent Questions
When writing or reviewing a set of questions, initially consider the following three categories:
Questions that assess themes and central ideas
Questions that assess knowledge of vocabulary
Questions that assess syntax and structure

The Spider and the Fly
by Mary Howitt
“Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly, “'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.”
“Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."
