About this resource
This quiz comprehensively assesses students' understanding of "Night" by Elie Wiesel, focusing on Holocaust literature and autobiographical memoir as a literary genre. Designed for 9th or 10th grade English students, the questions evaluate multiple layers of literary analysis including plot comprehension, character development, thematic understanding, literary devices, and historical context. Students must demonstrate their grasp of the memoir's central narrative about survival in Nazi concentration camps, the deterioration of the father-son relationship under extreme circumstances, and the protagonist's loss of faith and innocence. The quiz requires students to identify literary techniques such as foreshadowing and irony, understand point of view, recognize major themes including complicity and dehumanization, and recall specific details about characters like Moshe the Beadle, Juliek, and various camp officials. Students need strong reading comprehension skills, the ability to analyze symbolism and literary devices, and sufficient emotional maturity to process the Holocaust's psychological and spiritual impact on survivors. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying Holocaust literature and memoir in grades 9-10. The assessment serves as an excellent comprehensive review tool following completion of the novel, allowing teachers to evaluate both literal comprehension and deeper analytical thinking skills. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a summative assessment after finishing the unit, use selected questions for formative check-ins during reading, or assign it as homework to reinforce key concepts and character relationships. The variety of question types - from plot details to thematic analysis - makes it versatile for differentiated instruction and supports multiple learning objectives within a Holocaust literature unit. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards including CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 for textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.2 for theme analysis, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3 for character development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.6 for point of view and literary techniques.
