About
This quiz focuses on the opening letters (1-4) of Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein*, specifically examining the frame narrative structure that introduces Robert Walton's Arctic expedition and his encounter with Victor Frankenstein. The content is appropriate for 12th grade students studying British Romantic literature, as it requires advanced reading comprehension, literary analysis skills, and understanding of complex narrative techniques. Students need to demonstrate mastery of literary terminology like allusion, analyze character motivations and relationships, track plot development across multiple letters, and interpret the thematic significance of the frame narrative device. The questions assess both literal comprehension of textual details and higher-order thinking about literary elements, requiring students to understand how Shelley uses Walton as both narrator and foil to Frankenstein while establishing key themes of isolation, ambition, and the consequences of unchecked scientific pursuit. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying 12th-grade English literature. The assessment serves as an excellent formative evaluation tool to gauge student understanding before moving deeper into the novel's central narrative about Victor's creation of the monster. Teachers can effectively use this quiz as a reading check after students complete the opening letters, as homework to reinforce key plot points and literary concepts, or as a warm-up activity to begin class discussions about the novel's frame structure and thematic foundations. The quiz aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3 for analyzing character development and narrative structure, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.4 for determining meaning of literary terms and figurative language. This assessment effectively prepares students for more complex analytical work with the novel while ensuring they have mastered the foundational elements Shelley establishes in her opening framework.
