Evidence Correlation

In this worksheet, students read short facts from two separate sources and write sentences that compare and contrast the river otter and sea otter. They are required to embed evidence correctly using transitions and quotation marks. Students practice forming comparison statements, contrast statements, and alternate contrast sentences using different transitions. This activity develops advanced writing skills by combining text evidence, comparative language, and proper citation formatting. It also strengthens close reading skills as students must interpret factual information from both sources.
