About this resource

This quiz focuses on Chapter 5 of John Steinbeck's classic novel "Of Mice and Men," targeting comprehension of key plot events, character motivations, and thematic elements. The questions assess 9th-10th grade level reading comprehension skills, requiring students to recall specific details, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and analyze character behavior within this pivotal chapter. Students need a solid understanding of the novel's central themes including friendship, dreams, and the treatment of marginalized individuals during the Great Depression era. The quiz emphasizes critical plot points such as Lennie's accidental killing of Curley's wife, the workers' reactions to the tragedy, and the implications for George and Lennie's shared dream of owning a farm. Students must demonstrate their ability to track character development, understand the significance of setting, and recognize how individual actions impact the broader narrative arc. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying American literature in grades 9-10. The assessment serves as an excellent tool for checking student comprehension after reading this crucial chapter, working effectively as a formative assessment to gauge whether students understood the major plot developments and character motivations before moving forward in the novel. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to begin class discussion, assign it as homework to reinforce reading, or implement it as a review tool before a larger unit assessment on the complete novel. The question format allows for quick grading while providing immediate feedback on student understanding of essential literary elements. This type of chapter-specific assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3, as it requires students to cite textual evidence and analyze how complex characters develop throughout the narrative.
