About this resource

This quiz focuses on Act 2 of Arthur Miller's *The Crucible*, examining the escalating tension and moral conflicts within the Proctor household as the Salem witch trials intensify. Designed for 11th grade students studying American literature, the questions assess comprehension of plot developments, character motivations, and dramatic irony. Students need to understand the complex relationship dynamics between John and Elizabeth Proctor, the manipulative nature of Abigail Williams, and how personal vendettas fuel the witch trials. The quiz requires students to analyze character actions and their consequences, particularly how John's adultery creates vulnerability that Abigail exploits, and how seemingly innocent objects like Mary Warren's poppet become "evidence" in the hysteria. Students must also demonstrate understanding of the Puritan social context and how religious expectations create additional pressure on the characters. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying American literature in grade 11. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a reading check after students complete Act 2, a review tool before class discussions, or formative assessment to gauge comprehension before moving to Act 3. Teachers can use this for homework assignments to ensure students are keeping up with the reading, or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before analyzing themes of integrity, guilt, and societal pressure. The quote identification questions particularly support close reading skills and help students recognize Miller's distinctive dialogue patterns. This quiz aligns with standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3 for analyzing character development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.6 for understanding point of view and dramatic irony in the mounting tension between characters.
