Students would be able to go home and upload it and the teacher could listen and assess when he/she had the time.

When developing assessments, it would be great to incorporate these type of questions into the assessment. Also, it would be great to have the students practice utilizing these types of questions while they are reading to further their thinking strategies. ======
