Guidelines for Question Generation:
1. Question Variety (cover all types):
o Factual Recall: time, place, age, numbers, characters,
important phrases/dialogues.
o Event-based Analysis: why did a character act in a certain
way, cause–effect relationships.
o Character Study: personality traits, dilemmas, conflicts,
relationships.
o Thematic/Narrative Issues: social/moral problems highlighted,
relevance today.
o Value-based / Life-skill application: connect story to present-
day issues (like loneliness, cyber safety, greed, family ties).
o Comparative / Inter-textual: compare with another known
story/character (if hinted in the text).
o Extract/Passage-based: provide an extract, then ask 2–3 sub-
questions (meaning, inference, theme).
o Interpretative / Symbolic: analyse metaphors, similes, idioms
used.
2. Competency Focus:
o Ensure questions test: Knowledge, Understanding,
Application, Analysis, Evaluation, and Creativity.
o Some questions must push students to justify, argue,
evaluate, predict, or suggest solutions, not just recall.
3. Question Format:
o Mix of Very Short Answer (30–40 words), Short Answer
(60–80 words), Long Answer (100–120 words).
o Each question should specify expected word limit.
o Where suitable, give choice (e.g., “उत्तर दीजिए या अपने शब्दों
में लिखिए…”).
4. Coverage of Story:
o Divide questions to ensure coverage of beginning, middle,
climax, resolution.
o Include details about time, place, sequence of events,
character ages, roles, and symbolic phrases.
5. Output Style:
o Organize questions under headings (e.g., Factual Recall,
Character Analysis, Value-based, Extract-based).
o Use bullet/numbered list.
o Avoid answers—just generate questions.
