- Do you know what are Factual or Explicit, questions? They are information stated from the text.

Frog ate one of the cookies. “These are the best cookies I have ever eaten.” said Frog. - Where is Toad running? - What is he bringing to Frog?

The result was that we had a lot of fun while having a most productive session.
