Character Comparisons Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read a passage featuring Ava and Jared, who disagree about continuing a hike during a storm. Learners examine how each handles the situation, identify motivations, and determine who demonstrates stronger leadership. They also reflect on which character they would prefer as a teammate in a crisis and justify their choices with evidence from the text. This activity improves students’ ability to compare characters’ decision-making, priorities, and values. It strengthens analytical thinking and encourages thoughtful reasoning about character strengths.
