About this resource

This quiz focuses on reading comprehension of the novel "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls, specifically covering chapters 1-10. Designed for 7th grade students, the assessment evaluates literal comprehension, character analysis, plot sequence understanding, and basic literary device recognition. Students need strong recall skills to answer detail-oriented questions about Billy's journey to acquire his hunting dogs, his family dynamics, and key events in the early chapters. The questions require students to understand character motivations, identify cause-and-effect relationships, and recognize story structure elements like flashback. Students must also demonstrate their ability to make predictions based on textual evidence and analyze how authors develop themes through character interactions and plot events. Created by Traci Porter, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 7, this comprehensive quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the literature classroom. Teachers can effectively use this assessment as a formative evaluation tool to gauge student understanding before moving to later chapters, or as a review activity to reinforce key plot points and character development from the novel's opening section. The quiz works exceptionally well as homework reinforcement after guided reading sessions or as a warm-up activity to refresh student memory before class discussions. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards RL.7.1 for citing textual evidence, RL.7.3 for analyzing character interactions, and RL.7.5 for analyzing story structure, making it an excellent tool for measuring student progress toward grade-level reading comprehension expectations while building their analytical thinking skills with classic American literature.
