Reasoning and Judgment

In this worksheet, students read a passage about a struggling school newspaper and use reasoning skills to answer questions that go beyond basic recall. Each question asks students to evaluate decisions, analyze motivations, and draw conclusions about the characters’ actions. Learners must think critically about the editor’s leadership, the team’s choices, and the outcomes of their new approach. This activity develops higher-order comprehension by encouraging students to evaluate ideas, interpret cause and effect, and make judgments supported by textual evidence. It helps strengthen decision-making analysis and inferential reading.
