Questions	yes	no	Student Explanation	My Analysis
1. Do you like asking questions as you read or learn during expedition?  Why or why not?	8	0	Yes ·      You mite lean more ·      It helps you understand more ·      The answers help me think deeper ·      I like adding more to my questions ·      I learn a lot of new thinks ·      I want to stay informed on science and history
2.
