River Reflection

Students read a passage about a boy concerned about changes in a nearby river and respond to open-ended questions requiring explanation and reasoning. Learners must describe the character’s emotions, interpret the impact of environmental issues, and explain why the community supported the boy’s efforts. The worksheet encourages students to use how and why responses supported by text evidence. This activity builds critical thinking, environmental awareness, and stronger written expression skills.
