About this resource
This quiz comprehensively assesses figurative language concepts appropriate for 5th grade English Language Arts students. The assessment covers eight essential types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, alliteration, onomatopoeia, idioms, and allusion, plus imagery as a foundational literary concept. Students must demonstrate both recognition skills by identifying figurative language in context and definitional knowledge by matching terms to their meanings. The questions require students to distinguish between closely related concepts, such as differentiating similes from metaphors or recognizing when human characteristics are given to non-human objects through personification. Success on this quiz demands that students understand comparative language structures, recognize exaggeration for effect, identify sound devices in poetry and prose, and comprehend how authors use figurative language to create vivid mental pictures and emotional connections in their writing. Created by Vanda Sue Bell, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 5. This quiz serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the figurative language unit, functioning effectively as a comprehensive review before summative assessments or as a diagnostic tool to identify areas needing reinforcement. Teachers can utilize this assessment for homework assignments to reinforce classroom learning, as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, or for formative assessment to guide instructional decisions about pacing and differentiation. The quiz format allows for immediate feedback and supports student self-assessment of their understanding of literary devices. This assessment directly aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.5.5, which requires students to demonstrate understanding of figurative language and word relationships, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.4, which focuses on determining the meaning of words and phrases including figurative language in literary texts.
