Courage Connections

Students read excerpts from To Kill a Mockingbird and Hidden Figures, examining how each text portrays courageous choices. They complete structured sentence frames that help them compare the characters’ actions, motivations, and the messages both texts convey. The reflection questions require students to analyze which character feels more relatable, how courage can inspire others, and why sentence frames support strong text-to-text connections. This worksheet supports comprehension, comparative reasoning, and thoughtful interpretation of character values.
