About
This quiz thoroughly assesses middle school students' comprehension of Edward Bloor's novel "Tangerine," focusing on character development, plot progression, and thematic understanding. Designed for grades 6-7, the questions require students to demonstrate detailed recall of specific events, analyze character motivations and relationships, and understand the novel's central conflicts around family dynamics, personal identity, and moral courage. Students must grasp complex themes including bullying, sibling rivalry, environmental issues, and the consequences of keeping secrets. The quiz evaluates both literal comprehension through factual questions about soccer games, school transfers, and character names, as well as deeper analytical skills through questions about Paul's character growth, Erik's antagonistic behavior, and the symbolic significance of elements like the tangerine groves and Paul's vision problems. To succeed, students need strong reading comprehension skills, the ability to track multiple plot threads, and understanding of how authors use symbolism and metaphor to develop themes. Created by William Fishburn, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 6-7. This comprehensive assessment tool provides excellent support for literature instruction and can serve multiple classroom purposes throughout a novel study unit. Teachers can use individual sections as daily warmup questions to check reading progress, assign the complete quiz as a summative assessment following novel completion, or select specific questions for targeted review of particular chapters or themes. The quiz works effectively as a homework assignment to reinforce independent reading or as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before moving to essay writing or creative projects. The variety of question types, from factual recall to interpretive analysis, aligns with Common Core standards ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1, ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2, and ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.3, which emphasize citing textual evidence, determining themes, and analyzing character development. This resource enables teachers to efficiently evaluate whether students have thoroughly engaged with the text and understood its key literary elements.
