Self question   This reading strategy helps you stay focused on what you read. Ask yourself questions before you read a section. Then read to see if you can find the answer to your questions.

1. Read the heading "The Life of the Prophet" on page 59. Which question below do you expect to have answered in the paragraphs that follow this heading? Circle the letter next to the best question.
a. What did Muhammad do before he became a prophet?
b. What trade routes ran through the area where Muhammad lived?
c. What were Jewish temples called during Muhammad's time?

2. Now read the section "Life of the Prophet" on pages 59-61 to see if the question you chose was answered. If it was, write the answer to the question.
