About this resource
This quiz focuses on the opening chapter of Charles Dickens' classic novella "A Christmas Carol," specifically examining students' comprehension of Stave One's key characters, plot events, and literary details. The questions assess reading comprehension at a middle school level, requiring students to recall specific textual information about Ebenezer Scrooge's character, his relationship with Jacob Marley, and the supernatural events that begin his transformation. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify character descriptions, understand the timeline of events on Christmas Eve, and recognize the significance of Marley's ghostly visit and warning. The quiz demands careful attention to Dickens' characterization techniques, particularly how Scrooge is established as a miserly protagonist through direct description and his dismissive attitude toward Christmas traditions. Created by Miss Mayo, an English teacher who teaches grades 5 and 9. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge students' understanding before progressing to the remaining staves of the novella. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a chapter review after completing Stave One, ensuring students have grasped the foundational elements necessary for understanding Scrooge's character arc throughout the story. The quiz works effectively as a homework assignment to reinforce reading, a warm-up activity to begin the next class discussion, or a quick check for understanding during guided reading sessions. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards RL.6.1 and RL.7.1, which require students to cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text explicitly states, as well as RL.6.3 and RL.7.3 for analyzing how particular elements of a story interact and advance the plot.
