About this worksheet
Leo has practiced "Sunset Drive" for months, but three days before the fifth-grade talent show he wants to drop out. His friend Maya tells him not to let nerves steal what he loves. On stage at rehearsal he hits a sour note, and he keeps playing anyway. After the story, students answer eight questions that trace his response to the challenge, choose the best theme, and write an objective summary. The four pages target 5th grade RL.5.2, and the answer key includes a model summary.
