F.+Comprehension+and+Text+Structure+Activity

**Objective**: You will be able to further your comprehension of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs by identifying and using Question and Answer Relationships (QARs).

**Model**: I, the teacher, will provide you with the four basic types of QARs and explain each. Then, I will identify a question within each type using last week's lesson information, as a refresher. I will then answer each question accordingly.


 * **Type of QAR** || **Definition** ||
 * //Right There// || The answer is in the text. The words use in the question and the words used for the answer can usually be found in the same sentences. ||
 * //Think and Search// || The answer is in the text, but the words used in the question and those used for the answer are not in the same sentence. You need to think about different parts of the text and how ideas can be put together before you can answer the qeustion. ||
 * //Author and You// || The answer is not in the text. You need to think about what you know, what the author says, and how they can fit together. ||
 * //On Your Own// || The text got you thinking, but the answer is inside your head. The author can't help you much. So think about it, and use what you know already about the question. ||

**Guided Practice**: You will work in your assigned group to answer the first QAR set. Once you have finished, review your answers. If any questions were answered incorrectly, discuss why the correct answer is the right choice and how knowing the QAR helps come to your conclusion.

**Independent Practice**: You will work independently to complete the second QAR set. Review your answers. If any questions were answered incorrectly, write down the correct response, why it is the right choice, and how the QAR helps you attain the right conclusion. (If all questions are answered correctly, choose one question to reflect upon following the same pattern-- why it's right and how the QAR helps).

//**Directions: **//

Read pages 137- 143 in your //Psychology and You// textbook. Also, be sure to review the four types of question-answer relationships. Noting the QAR type listed in parenthesis, answer each of the following questions.

1) What type of need must be met first and what are two examples? (//Right There//)

2) Describe what may happen if a person feels they cannot directly satisfy a need. (//Think and Search//)

3) In the text, the author claims that individuals may regress to lower level needs on occasion. Why do you think this may occur? (//Author and You//)

4) Describe an individual who you feel has reached self-actualization. Explain your reasoning and explicitly state how he or she satisfied each need in the hierarchy. (//On Your Own//)

**Assessment**: To assess your comprehension, I will review your responses and reflections from the independent practice based on the following rubric:


 * 0 || Student did not provide at least one reflection. ||
 * 1 || Student demonstrates basic understanding of material and QAR, but does not elaborate fully. ||
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">2 || <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Student demonstrates understanding of material and QAR will full elaboration. ||

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The remaining 8 points will be awarded based on the content of answers on the following rubric:


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">0 || <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Student answered question incorrectly and did not identify correct answer. ||
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">1 || <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Student answered question incorrectly, but identified correct answer. ||
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">2 || <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Student answered question correctly. ||
