Good Readers Ask Questions

This week we have become excellent questioners.  We know that a good reader asks questions about text before, during, and after reading.  We practiced questioning by reading The Lotus Seed and Fly Away Home, both stories of hope.   

Please pick one After question from either book and answer the question in the comment section.

In Fly Away Home, what does the bird represent in the story?
or
In The Lotus Seed, why does the seed mean so much to the grandmother?
