About this resource

Looking at this assessment of Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild," I can see this is a comprehensive reading comprehension quiz covering the first seven chapters of this contemporary nonfiction work. This material is perfectly suited for 9th-12th grade students, requiring them to demonstrate literal comprehension, character analysis, and understanding of narrative techniques. Students need to grasp the complex motivations driving Chris McCandless's journey, track his geographical movements and encounters with various characters like Wayne Westerberg and Ron Franz, and understand Krakauer's role as narrator. The questions assess students' ability to analyze character traits, understand the significance of McCandless's philosophical influences from authors like Thoreau and Tolstoy, and recognize the symbolic importance of key events like his burning of money and his ultimate goal of reaching Alaska. This level of analysis requires mature reading skills and the ability to synthesize information across multiple chapters. Created by Maxwell Erdman, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 8 through University level, this quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool for tracking student comprehension of this challenging text. Teachers can deploy this assessment as a chapter review after students complete the first seven chapters, use it as homework to reinforce key plot points and character development, or implement it as a warm-up activity before class discussions about McCandless's motivations and Krakauer's narrative techniques. The mix of character identification, plot comprehension, and analytical thinking questions makes this quiz particularly valuable for preparing students for more complex literary discussions about themes of independence, idealism, and the relationship between civilization and wilderness. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3, as it requires students to cite textual evidence and analyze character development throughout the narrative.
