Question
¿Cuáles son las tres preguntas del método de lectura atenta?
Answer
¿Qué pasa? (what happens) → ¿Cómo está escrito? (voice, tone, devices) → ¿Qué significa? (theme, effect).
Question
What is the difference between retelling and close reading?
Answer
Retelling says *what happens*; close reading notices *how it's written and what it suggests* — and earns the marks.
Question
Give the close-reading rule for every comment, in three words.
Answer
Recurso → cita → efecto (device → quotation → effect): name the device, quote it, explain its effect.
Question
In «¿qué pasa? / ¿cómo? / ¿qué significa?», which gets the most time in the oral?
Answer
The last two — ¿cómo está escrito? and ¿qué significa? «¿Qué pasa?» is just one sentence.
