How+to+get+an+A+in+Comprehension

 To answer your comprehension and discussion questions thoroughly and thoughtfully (also known as "how to get an A), you must understand what the question really asks and address all parts of the question. You will need to have your book handy and do the hard work of rereading and researching. You need to write in complete sentences and explain your conclusions. ===WHEN YOU ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES, YOU HAVE TO THINK MORE DEEPLY, AND YOU LEARN MORE. ===

 Below are some examples of a range of answers:

 **__Unwind__**, Chapter 11:

 C. **Analyze both Connor and Risa’s explanations about why they weren’t in the news? What if they’re both wrong; why do you think there isn’t any news of the kids?**  **Answer #1**: cause pastor dan told lev's parents to not call the police.then they will be confuse **This answer is incomplete and lacks punctuation.**

 **Answer #2:** Well I think that they weren't in the news because maybe their parents haven't called the police yet, and they think that their parents have already called them. **This answer is incomplete. It doesn't address all parts of the question. It indicates a lack of understanding about the characters, one of whom does not have any parents. It also doesn't make much sense.**

 **Answer #3:** Right now, a lot of people read the newspaper. Risa is thinking that they aren't in the paper, maybe they don't went them to be unwinds, maybe they just want them dead. It would make sense because if they were in the newspaper, everybody would know about them and the police would have to take them to unwound instead of killing them. Connor is thinking that Lev's parents are paying people to keep quiet about it so that they can hunt them down, kill Risa and Connor but keep Lev alive to be unwound. I think they aren't in the news because they don't want everybody freaking out about it. **This answer is complete, although the last sentence is vague. It is well written grammatically and addresses all parts of the question.**

 **Answer #4:** Connor thinks that they weren't in the newspaper because maybe the police don't want people to know that they screwed up. He also doesn't think that it's such a big deal that they aren't in the paper because then if there's no pictures that means no one will recognize them. But Risa on the other hand thinks different, she wonders why there's nothing about them. She thinks if they aren't in the news then who knows if they live or die. Shes thinking if they aren't looking for them then maybe they don't want to take them to be unwound, maybe they just want them to die. I think that there isn't anything about the kids because really the only person that knew about the kids is that Juvy cop and he was knocked out. Maybe he just didn't say anything about them. **This answer is complete and addresses all parts of the question thoroughly.**
