Instructional Ideas

• Attach a sheet of paper to the resource to make answering short answer questions easier 
• Go over the worksheet together, mark the text, and think out loud to demonstrate how to locate answers 
• Brainstorm question number four and invite pupils to write a more detailed response that a short answer 

Classroom Considerations

• The resource is the 10th in a series of 19 reading comprehension worksheets
• Portions of the story may upset sensitive class members 

Pros

• Encourages positive character traits 
• Provides a straight forward, easy-to-follow objective 

Cons

• Does not provide much space for learners to write
