Recipe for Success

In this worksheet, students read about Samantha learning a valuable lesson in patience while baking cookies. They then answer questions explaining the lesson, how it could help Samantha in future tasks, and how the same lesson applies to schoolwork or projects. Students also predict a new scenario where patience and following directions would lead to success, supporting their explanation with text-based reasoning. This activity deepens understanding of cause-and-effect and encourages students to transfer character lessons to real contexts.
