About
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and literary analysis of Chapter 1 from Gary Paulsen's novel "Hatchet," making it appropriate for 6th grade students. The questions assess students' ability to recall specific details, understand character motivations, and identify literary elements such as foreshadowing and recurring themes. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to extract explicit information about Brian's destination, age, and family situation, while also demonstrating inferential thinking to understand the significance of details like the pilot's physical symptoms and Brian's emotional state. The quiz requires students to connect plot elements, recognize the setup for the survival story that follows, and understand how the author establishes conflict through Brian's internal struggles with his parents' divorce and the external danger of the pilot's medical emergency. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying 6th grade English Language Arts. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a reading check after students complete the first chapter, a review tool before progressing deeper into the novel, or a formative assessment to ensure students grasp essential plot points and character development before the story's major conflict unfolds. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to begin class discussions about survival themes, family relationships, and coming-of-age elements, or assign it as homework to reinforce reading accountability. The questions align with Common Core standards RL.6.1 for citing textual evidence and RL.6.3 for analyzing how plot elements develop, while supporting classroom instruction that builds toward deeper literary analysis as students progress through this compelling survival narrative.
