The Greater Call

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students analyze a short passage titled “The Last Rally,” which explores a conflict between personal ambition and social responsibility. Learners are asked to identify the central theme, trace how it develops throughout the passage, and cite textual evidence to support their responses. They interpret the main character’s internal struggle between pursuing education and fighting for justice in her community. Students also examine how specific details and word choices reveal character values and moral choices. The exercise builds advanced comprehension, inferencing, and thematic analysis skills suitable for upper high school readers.
