About this resource
This comprehensive Edgar Allan Poe quiz covers biographical information and detailed literary analysis of three major works: "The Raven," "The Black Cat," and "The Tell-Tale Heart." Designed for 7th to 9th grade students, the assessment evaluates knowledge of Poe's life events, his contribution to Gothic horror and mystery genres, and sophisticated literary elements including point of view, symbolism, theme, and narrative structure. Students need to demonstrate understanding of first-person unreliable narration, recognize how Poe uses psychological tension and guilt as driving forces in his stories, and analyze literary devices such as symbolism and climax. The questions require students to make inferences about character motivation, interpret symbolic meaning, and understand how point of view affects reader perception and story credibility. Created by Ashleigh Joyner, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 7 and 9. This quiz serves as an excellent review tool before a unit test on Edgar Allan Poe, allowing students to consolidate their understanding of both biographical context and close reading skills across multiple texts. Teachers can use this as a comprehensive formative assessment to identify areas where students need additional support, or assign it as homework to reinforce classroom discussions about Gothic literature and narrative techniques. The quiz effectively supports instruction by requiring students to synthesize information across different texts while demonstrating mastery of literary analysis skills aligned with standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.1, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.2, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.3, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.6, which emphasize textual evidence, theme identification, character analysis, and understanding point of view.
