Library vs. Lunchroom

This worksheet includes a short story comparing two contrasting school settings: the quiet library and the noisy cafeteria. Students read about a child who struggles to adjust his behavior appropriately between environments. They then answer multiple-choice questions that evaluate comprehension of the story, reasoning about character behavior, and understanding why different places require different conduct. The activity helps students distinguish between quiet zones and social areas while building reading comprehension and inferencing skills.
