Digital Activism

In this nonfiction reading comprehension worksheet, students explore how social media has evolved into a modern platform for activism. They read a passage detailing movements such as #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter and analyze how these digital spaces allow individuals to organize, share, and inspire global participation. Students are asked to identify the central idea and provide supporting details that reinforce it, promoting close reading and textual evidence use. This task encourages critical thinking about the relationship between technology and social change. By focusing on evidence-based reasoning, learners strengthen their ability to identify key ideas and analyze supporting information.
