Something else that I've been asked to do for the first time...one page has several freeform responses. On the next page, the client wants the student's freeform responses to show along with the "correct" text (the responses are not graded). Is there a way to do this?
It sounds like they're text entry responses? You could refer to what the user answers using the variable reference as described here. The correct answer presumably you could have written in on the slide itself.
I understand how to apply the variable to an either/or choice (like in the example...agree/disagree), but I'm not sure how to apply it to bring over a paragraph of text that the student has entered on a previous page? Do you see a way to do that?
You'll want to use the same set up (%TextEntry1%) to call the information in the text entry variable where the user entered their information. I've attached a simple two slide set up - enter a bunch of text on the first slide, click next and you'll see it displayed on the next slide.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Happy to help Katie!
