Classroom Courage

In this worksheet, students read a passage about Sofia, who overcomes her fear of public speaking during a class presentation. They must fill in a Character Trait Chart with two or three traits that describe Sofia and provide textual evidence for each trait. The task teaches students how to identify character traits based on actions and dialogue, a core skill in reading comprehension and literary analysis. It also encourages critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning as students connect story details to broader personality characteristics.
