About
This quiz focuses on *The Maze Runner* by James Dashner and tests students' comprehension of key plot points, character motivations, and story events from this popular dystopian young adult novel. Based on the complexity of the questions and the advanced reading level required to understand Dashner's intricate plot structure, this assessment is most appropriate for grades 8-10. Students need strong reading comprehension skills to track multiple characters' actions and motivations throughout the narrative, recall specific story details, and understand cause-and-effect relationships within a complex science fiction setting. The questions require students to demonstrate literal comprehension of major plot events, character decisions, and the sequence of dramatic moments that drive the story toward its climax, including Thomas's integration into the Glade community, the Griever attacks, and the ultimate escape sequence. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying young adult literature in middle or high school English classes. The assessment serves as an excellent tool for checking reading comprehension after students have completed the novel, whether used as a summative assessment, homework assignment, or review activity before class discussions. Teachers can implement this quiz as a warm-up activity to gauge which students completed their reading assignment, or use it for formative assessment to identify areas where students may need additional support in understanding complex plot developments. This type of literature comprehension quiz aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1, which require students to cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly, as well as CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.3 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3, which focus on analyzing how particular lines of dialogue or incidents propel the action and reveal character development.
