A second-grade teacher is reading aloud a literary text to the class. Which of the following post-reading activities would be most likely to promote the students' comprehension of the story by enhancing their literary analysis skills?
  1. Encouraging the students to identify the key vocabulary words in the story.
  2. Discussing with the students how the characters in the story respond to major events and challenges.
  3. Asking the students to reread the story silently and respond to several literal comprehension questions.
  4. Having the students freewrite about the story in their reading response journals.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. At the second-grade level, a significant focus of literary analysis centers on the characters in a story and how their actions and words can provide clues to their traits, motivations, and feelings. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because, although having students identify important vocabulary from the story (A), reread the story and respond to literal comprehension questions (C), or engage in a freewrite about the story (D) may enhance students' text comprehension, these activities would not develop their literary analysis skills.
