Conflict and Text Evidence

Worksheet Description

The worksheet, titled “Conflict and Text Evidence,” is a pedagogical tool aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of different types of conflicts in literature. It also focuses on developing their ability to cite textual evidence to support their analyses. The top of the worksheet provides space for students to write their names, fostering a sense of ownership over their work.

Structured around the exploration of four classic types of conflict, the worksheet prompts students to identify and write an example of each conflict type from a text: Person vs. Person, Person vs. Nature, Person vs. Society, and Person vs. Themselves. This exercise not only encourages students to engage closely with the text but also to reflect on the nature of conflict and its role in narrative structure. Under each conflict category, lines are provided for students to write down specific instances from the text, along with the accompanying textual evidence. This methodical approach helps students to practice critical reading and citing evidence, which are essential skills for literary analysis and academic writing. The worksheet’s design is straightforward and focused, allowing students to concentrate on the content of their responses without distraction.
