Using Question-Answer Relationships: Right There

QAR is a strategy for identifying different types of questions and their sources of information for answering. It has four types of questions: Right There questions are answered directly from the text; Think and Search questions require combining information from several parts of the text; Author and Me questions need information beyond the text applied to what is read; and On My Own questions require answers not found in the text using outside knowledge. QAR helps locate, analyze, and determine when inference is needed to answer questions.

Using Question-Answer Relationships


Question-Answer Relationships (QAR) provides a strategy for identifying different types of
questions and sources of information for answering these questions.

QAR should help you locate information, analyze text for information, and help you determine
when inference is required.

QAR has four types of questions

Right There
• Right there questions will have answers in the textbook in the same sentence.
• Right there questions often begin with "Who is", "What is", "When is", "What kind of",
"Name", or "List."
• These questions are answered by locating and copying the information.

Think and Search


• Think and search questions require you to read several sentences or sections of text
and combine the information together.
• The questions often begin with "Summarize", "What caused", "Contrast", "Compare", or
"Explain"
• You need to put information from several locations together in a way that is meaningful
to you to answer the question.

Author and Me
• Author and Me questions require you to answer with information beyond what is in the
text .
The basic material to be elaborated on must be read and understood before you can
add additional information to it.
• A typical question might be “Which word best describes the author’s tone in this piece of
literature?”

On My Own
• On my own questions require answers not in the book at all.
• The questions require that you use background knowledge to support your opinions.
• A typical On My Own question might be "Explain how you would react if you
discovered your family had to go into hiding?”
