About this resource
This quiz comprehensively assesses 5th and 6th grade students' reading comprehension of "The War That Saved My Life" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, focusing on chapters 11-21. The questions evaluate students' ability to recall specific plot details, understand character motivations and relationships, and identify basic literary elements such as setting, internal versus external conflict, and plot structure. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to track character interactions between Ada, Miss Smith, Jamie, and supporting characters, while also demonstrating their understanding of themes including freedom, education, abuse, and personal growth. The quiz requires students to analyze character reactions and decisions, understand vocabulary in context (such as "clergyman"), and apply basic literary analysis skills by categorizing conflicts and identifying exposition within the plot structure. Created by Brande Schriewer, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 5 and 6. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to monitor student progress through the middle section of this award-winning novel, ensuring students are actively engaging with both plot development and character growth. Teachers can utilize this quiz as a chapter review after guided reading sessions, assign it as independent homework to reinforce comprehension, or implement it as a warm-up activity before class discussions about Ada's journey toward self-acceptance and healing. The quiz effectively supports Common Core standards RL.5.1 and RL.6.1 for citing textual evidence, RL.5.3 and RL.6.3 for analyzing character development, and RL.5.5 and RL.6.5 for understanding story structure, while also addressing vocabulary standards L.5.4 and L.6.4 through context-based word meaning questions.
