Lesson: Readers Ask Questions/Stretch lesson over several days

==> Questions bubble over in our heads

==> Use baking soda and vinegar to show how questions bubble over in our minds. Put baking soda in the bottom of a clear container. Explain that you are putting in the words. Next we are going to see what happens when we mix the "words" with our thinking (the vinegar is your thinking). Mix the two together and it will bubble over.

==> When we mix the words and our thinking it's like a volcano of questions come bubbling out.

==> It's like a bubble bath of questions in our heads.

==> We are going to read a very powerful story today. As we read we are going to pause to let the questions bubble out.
