Mismatch Repair Answer Key

In this revision-based worksheet, each passage is labeled with an incorrect text structure. Students must rewrite each so that it accurately fits the labeled structure. This task challenges learners to think critically about how language and organization interact to convey meaning. By editing sentences for logical relationships, sequencing, and transitions, students actively construct examples of cause/effect, compare/contrast, chronological, problem/solution, and descriptive writing. The activity enhances comprehension and reinforces mastery through creative correction.
