Question- While you read, question what's happening. Searching for reasons behind events and characters' actions can help you get more involved in what you read.
Connect- Connect personally with what you're reading. Think of similarities between the descriptions in the selection and what you have personally experienced, heard, or read.
Predict- Try to figure out what will happen next and how the selection might end. Then read on to see if you made good guesses.
Clarify- Stop occasionally to review what you understand so far, and expect to have your understanding change and develop as you read on.
Evaluate- Form opinions about what you read, both while you're reading and after you've finished. Make judgments about the characters and develop your own ideas about events.
Visualize- Make a picture in your mind of what the text says. Imagine you are looking at what is describe.

The fat man Crispin found in the church had bread that he wanted.Crispin reached for the bread, only to have his arm grabbed by the man.
After that Crispin had to make an oath in the name of God or be killed.He got the bread, went as far away from the man as he could(without leaving the building),and ate knowing he was now owned by the man.
After a while the man asked a question Crispin could not answer.the man yelled at him with his booming voise,then asked "do you not laugh, without laughter life is nothing."
