Questions about Where the Versions Meet
What does the Where the Versions Meet worksheet cover?
It practices matching lines of a story to how a stage version shows them — 2 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core RL.4.7: Match a film or performance back to the lines of the text it came from. The instruction to students is “Write the letter of the match next to each one”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Where the Versions Meet practice?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.7 — RL.4.7, under Reading: Literature for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “Make connections between the text of a story or drama and a visual or oral presentation of the text, identifying where each version reflects specific descriptions and directions in the text.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Where the Versions Meet is written for Grade 4, typically ages 9-10. It is one of the sheets on RL.4.7, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Where the Versions Meet come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Where the Versions Meet can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Where the Versions Meet free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Where the Versions Meet, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
