Problem and Solution Hunt Answer Key

Students practice identifying problems and solutions within short narrative passages. They highlight or underline each part, then answer comprehension questions to demonstrate understanding. Through real-world examples-such as fixing a spill or cleaning up litter-students learn how authors structure events around challenges and resolutions. The activity builds close reading, inference, and analytical skills essential for understanding story structure.
