8th Grade Quote Response Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

A quote response sheet gives a famous line with its source and a short note on context, then asks a topic question about it. There are 24 sheets for 8th grade here, and none have answer keys because each response is the student's own claim. Writers and speakers include William Wordsworth, Thomas Paine, Jane Austen, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Louis Pasteur, Isaac Newton and L. Frank Baum. Students plan in a chart, timeline or list, and some sheets add a claim, a counterclaim and a checklist on a second page.
