About this resource
This quiz focuses on the memoir "Warriors Don't Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals, examining the historical events surrounding the Little Rock Nine and school integration in Arkansas in 1957. The content is appropriate for grades 8-11, as it requires students to demonstrate detailed knowledge of Civil Rights history, understand cause-and-effect relationships in historical contexts, and analyze the personal experiences of individuals during pivotal moments in American history. Students need a solid foundation in Civil Rights movement chronology, understanding of the Brown v. Board of Education decision and its implementation challenges, and knowledge of key political figures including President Eisenhower, Governor Orval Faubus, and civil rights leaders like Daisy Bates. The questions assess both factual recall and comprehension of the broader significance of desegregation efforts, requiring students to connect specific incidents from Beals' memoir to the larger historical narrative of institutional resistance to integration and federal intervention in civil rights enforcement. Created by Mary Beth Braggs, a History teacher in the US who teaches grades 6-11. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the history classroom, functioning effectively as a summative assessment after students complete reading the memoir, a review tool before unit exams, or homework to reinforce key concepts and details from the text. The quiz format makes it ideal for formative assessment, allowing teachers to quickly identify which students have thoroughly engaged with the reading and understand the historical significance of the Little Rock Nine's experiences. Teachers can use this as a warm-up activity to begin discussions about institutional racism, federal versus state authority, or the courage required for social change, while the specific details about individual students' experiences help personalize this crucial period in Civil Rights history. The assessment aligns with standards including NCSS.D2.His.1.6-12 (analyzing historical context) and NCSS.D2.Civ.7.6-12 (applying civic ideals and practices), supporting students' development of historical thinking skills and civic understanding.
