About this resource
This quiz thoroughly examines students' comprehension of S.E. Hinton's classic novel "The Outsiders," specifically focusing on chapters 1-5. Designed for middle school students in grades 7-8, the assessment evaluates character identification, plot comprehension, point of view recognition, and textual detail retention. Students must demonstrate their understanding of the complex relationships between Greasers and Socs, recall specific events such as the church hideout sequence and the tragic circumstances that orphaned the Curtis brothers, and identify key literary elements including the symbolic Robert Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay." The quiz requires students to distinguish between multiple characters with similar roles, understand character motivations and relationships, and remember specific details about setting, dialogue, and plot development that reveal their careful reading of the text. Created by Courtney Krup, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 8 and 10. This comprehensive character and plot assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout a novel study unit. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a formative assessment to gauge student reading progress midway through the novel, ensuring comprehension before advancing to the climactic chapters. It functions effectively as homework to reinforce reading assignments, as a review tool before major tests, or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before class discussions about themes and character development. The detailed character identification questions support students' ability to track multiple characters and their relationships, while plot-based questions ensure students are following the narrative sequence essential for understanding the novel's central conflicts. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards RL.8.1 for citing textual evidence and RL.8.3 for analyzing character development and plot progression.
