THE HUNDRED DRESSES - Comprehension & Text Evidence (Answer Key Included)

Created by

Learning Through Lit

Rationale for using Text Evidence and Comprehension packets:This approach provides a way for students to engage in critical thinking and reflection as they respond to what they have read. Citing textual evidence requires students to look back into the text for evidence to support an idea, answer a question or make a claim. This skill combined with comprehension questions on DOK Levels 1, 2, & 3 leads students to think deeply about what they have read. (Includes questions from each chapter)
