Story Truth Analyzer Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read short passages and decide whether each one should be classified as fiction or nonfiction. Each passage presents clues through tone, descriptive details, or realistic information, challenging students to distinguish between imaginative storytelling and factual reporting. After circling their answer, students explain their reasoning, reinforcing the importance of evidence-based judgment. The passages vary in style, incorporating personal experiences, informational content, and imaginative elements to test comprehension flexibly. This exercise supports deeper understanding of genre features and helps students recognize how factual texts differ structurally and stylistically from fictional narratives.
