COMPREHENSI
EVALUATE COMPREHENSION
Understanding the subject or event in greater depth is
necessary for evaluative comprehension. It entails
evaluating and assessing the purpose, viewpoint,
language, and presentational style of an action or an
author.
*Is it really necessary for Fa Mulan to take her
father's place in the army rather than requesting
assistance from higher-ups that would allow her
father to avoid joining the army? 
APPRECIATIVE COMPREHENSION
A reader who has an appreciating level of
comprehension is one who thoroughly
comprehends the literal meaning of the reading
material, has carefully assessed the situation,
and is able to apply the principles they have
learned to actual events or circumstances that
are comparable to them.
*If Mulan had been born in the present period,
do you think Mulan's father could have avoided
enlisting in the military even though he didn't
have a replacement but because of his health
condition?
ESSENTIAL COMPREHENSION
Essential comprehension entails reading,
reflecting, and coming to your own judgment
about the value of the information
*From the story of Mulan, do you think that
women in today's generation can possibly be
just like her, who would offer their lives just to
save her father and her country for the sake of
greater peace?
