Meaning Making is a Grade 9 ELA Reading and Viewing worksheet that gives students focused practice with making meaning through a varied set of reading and written response tasks. The resource combines selected-response activities with opportunities for students to respond in their own words.

Meaning Making through varied response tasks

Students work with multiple-choice questions and true-or-false questions before moving into short-answer responses. A reading passage provides a text-based activity, while an essay gives students space for extended written work. A short-note task adds another concise way to record a response connected to the lesson topic.
