Linked Lessons

In this comparative worksheet, students read two short passages and determine each passage’s theme before identifying the common message connecting both. This dual-analysis format promotes higher-level thinking by requiring synthesis of ideas across texts. Learners explore shared human experiences and moral lessons while improving text comparison and summarization skills.
