Fix-It Team Answer Key

About This Worksheet

Fix-It Team helps students identify how a character responds to a problem and what that reveals about their traits. The story follows Riley as she makes a mistake in a group project and works to fix it. Students must identify the problem, the steps taken to solve it, and what those actions show about the character. This worksheet strengthens problem-solution analysis and character understanding.
