Reasoning With Evidence

Students read a passage about Jamal during a classroom test and evaluate his character based on the choices he makes. They identify the decision he faced, determine which trait best describes him, and select two character traits to explain in more detail. Learners must justify their answers with evidence from the passage, strengthening their ability to infer character qualities from actions and internal conflict. This worksheet builds critical reasoning, teaches students how to cite text evidence, and helps them understand how decisions shape character.
