About this resource

This quiz focuses on Chapter 12 of Lois Lowry's dystopian novel "The Giver," specifically examining Jonas's developing ability to perceive color and his growing awareness of his community's controlled environment. The questions assess 7th-grade level reading comprehension skills, targeting students' ability to recall specific plot details, understand character development, and grasp the significance of key concepts like "Sameness" and "seeing beyond." Students need to demonstrate their understanding of how Jonas's unique gift sets him apart from his peers, why this creates discomfort for him, and how the community's decision to eliminate color relates to their broader philosophy of control. The quiz requires students to track Jonas's progression as he begins to see red objects—the apple, Fiona's hair, and books—and understand why The Giver plans to share the memory of a rainbow to help Jonas comprehend the concept of color fully. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying 7th-grade literature. The assessment serves as an excellent comprehension check following students' reading of this pivotal chapter where Jonas begins to understand the true cost of his community's pursuit of Sameness. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to gauge students' grasp of key plot points before diving into deeper discussions about theme and symbolism, or as a formative assessment to identify students who may need additional support understanding Jonas's transformation. The questions align well with Common Core standards RL.7.1 for citing textual evidence and RL.7.3 for analyzing character development, making it valuable for homework assignments or in-class review sessions. This type of focused chapter quiz helps students build confidence in their reading comprehension while preparing them for more complex analysis of Lowry's themes regarding freedom, choice, and the value of human experience.
