Can you provide a short story with comprehension questions that require R.A.C.E.S strategy to respond for 7th grade resource room

This resource provides a comprehensive guide to the R.A.C.E.S. writing strategy, designed to enhance students' writing skills by helping them structure their responses effectively. It breaks down the five components of R.A.C.E.S.: 1) Restate the Question, encouraging students to begin their responses by reformulating the prompt into a statement; 2) Answer the Question, where they provide a complete and thorough answer addressing all parts of the prompt; 3) Cite Evidence, which requires including specific details or quotes from the provided text to support their answer; 4) Explain, where they connect their cited evidence back to their initial answer, clarifying its relevance; and 5) Summarize, finishing with a concluding sentence that restates the main point. The resource also includes a short story, 'The New Kid', along with writing prompts and text analysis questions encouraging students to apply the R.A.C.E.S. strategy in their writing.
