Journey to Juno Comprehension Questions & Reading Journal

Journey to Juno questions by chapter

We know this book well. Every question asks about something that happens in its chapter, a moment, a choice or a character, without giving away what comes next. One question per chapter, across all 10 chapters, and every one is editable before you print. The example answers under 3 of the chapters are the ones printed at the front of the booklet.

1. Chapter 1

   In Chapter 1, what does Zack learn about the trip to Juno, and how does he seem to feel about it?

2. Chapter 2

   In Chapter 2, what preparations does Zack make before traveling, and what do those details show about his personality?

   Example answer: 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.

3. Chapter 3

   In Chapter 3, how is traveling through space different from an ordinary trip on Earth? Use details from the chapter to explain.

4. Chapter 4

   In Chapter 4, what is Zack's first impression of Juno, and how does the setting make the story feel exciting or unusual?

5. Chapter 5

   In Chapter 5, what problem or challenge begins to happen on Juno, and how do Zack and the other characters react?

6. Chapter 6

   In Chapter 6, choose one character besides Zack. How does that character help, worry, or change during this part of the story?

7. Chapter 7

   In Chapter 7, what do you predict Zack will do next to solve the problem? Explain what clues helped you make your prediction.

   Example answer: 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.

8. Chapter 8

   In Chapter 8, what lesson about courage, teamwork, or trying new things can readers learn from Zack's actions?

9. Chapter 9

   In Chapter 9, how does the main problem get closer to being solved, and what choices make the biggest difference?

10. Chapter 10

    In Chapter 10, what part of the ending did you find most satisfying or surprising, and why?

    Example answer: 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.
