I found this chapter to be very helpful for me as a future teacher.
There are many examples of deeper reading questions to provoke the students' thinking. The concept of backward design also outlines where the teacher should be going with readings and questions for an anticipated ending understanding from the students.
I enjoyed the reading article about AIDS, and I grasped the importance of background information. Gallagher listed other topics/graphs that would help students and myself understand the epidemic better.
I also agreed with Gallagher when he stated what you test is what you get. Questions should evoke thought and opinions supported by text.
