Text Evidence Finder

Students carefully read a literary passage and answer comprehension questions by underlining the exact line(s) that support each answer. They then provide written explanations showing how the chosen evidence proves their point. The worksheet reinforces the difference between simply finding a line and selecting the most direct textual support. This activity strengthens students’ accuracy in selecting evidence, deepens comprehension, and encourages precise, text-based reasoning. By analyzing the character’s uncertainty, determination, and motivation, students learn to interpret subtle narrative cues.
