Since the worksheet asks you to practice citing textual evidence but does not provide a specific story or article to read, we cannot answer the questions with real data. However, I will create a
sample short text and show you exactly how to fill out the form using that text as an example.
Sample Text for this Example:
> "The heavy rain hammered against the roof all night long. By morning, the streets were flooded, and cars floated like boats. Maya looked out her window and sighed. 'I guess school is canceled today,' she said with a smile."
Here is how you would fill out the worksheet based on that text:
What is the question?
Why was Maya happy when she looked out the window?
What is your answer?
Maya was happy because the heavy rain caused flooding, which meant she did not have to go to school.
What is the evidence?
The text says, "the streets were flooded," and Maya says, "I guess school is canceled today," while smiling.
Where did you find this evidence?
I found this in the second and third sentences of the paragraph.
