Friendship Summary

In this worksheet, students read a passage about two boys who form an unexpected friendship through a simple act of sharing. They are asked to write a 3-4 sentence summary that focuses on the passage’s most important ideas rather than minor details. Students must also complete a short written reflection explaining what they think about the story, what lesson it teaches, or how it connects to their own lives. This activity strengthens summarizing skills, encourages thoughtful personal reflection, and promotes clear written expression. Students also learn to identify themes and relate stories to broader life experiences.
