Example answers

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

Chapter 1: Eva gets excited about the treetop festival and starts thinking of ideas. What does this chapter show about Eva’s personality, and what details help you know?

I think Eva is creative and full of energy. She gets excited quickly and comes up with lots of ideas for the festival. This shows she cares about making the event fun for everyone. It also shows that when Eva wants to do something, she works hard at it.

Chapter 5: What do you predict Eva will need to do to make the festival a success? Use events from the story to support your prediction.

I predict Eva will need to ask her friends for help instead of trying to do everything alone. Earlier in the story, she had many jobs and it seemed hard to keep them all under control. If she lets other owls help, the festival plans will probably go better. Teamwork would also help Eva feel less worried.

Chapter 7: By the end of the story, what is your opinion of the way Eva handled the festival? What would you praise her for, and what advice would you give her for next time?

I think Eva did a good job because she really wanted the festival to be special. I would praise her for being determined and for not giving up when things were difficult. My advice would be for her to listen to her friends sooner and share the work. That way, everyone can feel included and the job will not feel so big.
