Facing Fear: Comparing Themes Across Two Stories for Class 6 

This Grade 6 worksheet helps students compare themes across two different stories. Using two relatable situations—Aarav climbing a hill and Riya speaking on stage (as seen on page 3 of the worksheet :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0})—learners explore how courage and determination are shown in different contexts. Through structured exercises, students develop the ability to identify common themes and analyse how they are presented differently.

1. It helps identify common ideas across different texts.  
2. It improves comparison and analytical skills.  
3. It strengthens reading comprehension.  
4. It supports structured and thoughtful writing.
