About
This quiz assesses comprehension and analysis of chapters 5 and 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's *The Great Gatsby*, making it appropriate for grades 9-12 English literature courses. Students need strong reading comprehension skills to track plot details, character motivations, and relationships across multiple chapters. The questions require students to analyze character behavior and emotional states, understand the significance of symbolic elements like the green light and weather, and recognize literary techniques such as motifs, symbolism, and foreshadowing. Students must demonstrate their ability to connect past and present events in the narrative, particularly Gatsby's backstory with Dan Cody and his reinvention from James Gatz to Jay Gatsby. The quiz also tests students' understanding of character dialogue attribution and the ability to interpret quotations within their proper context, skills essential for literary analysis at the high school level. Created by Melanie Hoffmann, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This comprehensive quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, from formative assessment during novel study to review before major examinations. Teachers can use individual questions as discussion starters or assign the complete quiz as homework to ensure students are keeping up with assigned reading. The mix of plot-based and analytical questions makes this an excellent tool for checking both basic comprehension and deeper literary understanding, while the focus on specific textual evidence prepares students for essay writing and literary analysis tasks. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3 for analyzing character development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.4 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.4 for determining meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text.
