Example answers

Printed at the front of the booklet, so your reader can see what a strong answer looks like.

In Chapter 2, what preparations does Zack make before traveling, and what do those details show about his personality?
I think Zack tries to get ready carefully because he knows a trip to another planet is a big deal. He pays attention to what he needs and thinks about what might happen. This shows that he is curious and excited, but also a little nervous. I like that he does not act like he knows everything.
In Chapter 7, what do you predict Zack will do next to solve the problem? Explain what clues helped you make your prediction.
I predict Zack will try to help even if he is scared. The clues are that he has already been noticing important details and does not want to give up. He also cares about his friends, so I think he will work with them instead of solving everything alone. That would fit the way his character has been acting.
In Chapter 10, what part of the ending did you find most satisfying or surprising, and why?
The most satisfying part of the ending was seeing how Zack handled the adventure better than he expected. At first, he was unsure about being in a new place, but by the end he seemed more confident. I liked that the story showed him learning from the trip instead of just having everything be easy. It made the ending feel happy and meaningful.
