Reaction Tracker

This worksheet asks students to read a narrative passage and complete a chart describing a character’s reaction. Learners identify the event that occurs, the character’s immediate response, what that reaction reveals about the character, and how it moves the story forward. This builds deep comprehension as students connect cause and effect within a narrative. Students analyze character behavior and interpret personality traits from reactions. They also reflect on how character actions influence plot progression, reinforcing an understanding of narrative structure. Writing in the chart encourages clear, organized explanation.
