Digital Distance

Students read a nonfiction passage exploring the contrast between digital connectedness and emotional loneliness, then answer five multiple-choice questions. These questions assess comprehension, inference, vocabulary interpretation, and tone analysis. Learners must interpret figurative language, evaluate the author’s viewpoint, and determine the central idea of the text. The worksheet encourages critical thinking about how technology affects emotional well-being, prompting students to reflect on the difference between constant communication and meaningful connection. This activity reinforces higher-level reading skills while integrating real-world relevance and social-emotional insight.
