Hope Quote Carousel Worksheet

Read the four original quote cards below. Then answer the questions using details from the cards. When you explain an idea, support it with a word or phrase from the text.

The Quote Carousel

These original lines come from four imagined speakers. Each offers a different view of hope.

CARD 1 — After the storm “The clouds had not vanished, but a strip of gold appeared along the edge of the sea. I decided that was enough light to begin.”

CARD 2 — At the workshop “Hope isn’t a finished bridge waiting for us. It’s the first plank we choose to carry.”

CARD 3 — Before the final match “The scoreboard remembered every point we had lost. We looked at one another instead, and took our places.”

CARD 4 — In the garden “Grandad planted seeds he would never see flower. He said the future was something you could care for, even before you could see it.”
