Expressing Ideas More Clearly Answer Key

Students read a passage about Marcus learning to play the guitar and overcoming challenges through perseverance. They then answer open-ended questions using clear, complete sentences while explaining their thinking. The questions prompt students to identify motivations, challenges, emotional milestones, and meaningful events in the story. This activity strengthens comprehension by requiring students to analyze character development and personal growth within the narrative. It also reinforces writing skills by encouraging students to elaborate on ideas and support their responses with text evidence. Learners practice expressing themselves thoughtfully and clearly, building strong communication habits.
