Asking questions before, during, and after you read a text is an excellent reading strategy. Asking questions allows you to explore the deeper meaning of a text. Remember to first think about any questions you have before you read to establish a purpose and focus for reading. Then, ask questions during your reading process about any unclear or confusing ideas you encounter. After you read, ask questions related to ideas you think are interesting or want to learn more about. As you read, be sure to look for and note answers to your questions in the table. Reread the passage from Under the Mesquite. In the worksheet, write two questions before, during, and after you read. Then enter your questions in the following table:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
