This worksheet is asking you to practice citing textual evidence — which means finding proof in a text to support your answer.
Since no specific text or question was given, I’ll make up a simple example so you can see how to fill out the worksheet.
Let’s pretend the assigned question is:
“Why did Goldilocks run away from the bears’ house?”
And let’s say the story says:
*“Goldilocks saw Mama Bear standing over her with angry eyes. She jumped up and ran out the door as fast as she could.”*
Now we’ll fill out the worksheet using that.
