About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers F. Scott Fitzgerald's *The Great Gatsby*, focusing on character identification, plot comprehension, thematic analysis, and literary devices. Designed for grades 9-12, this assessment requires students to demonstrate knowledge of both major and minor characters, understand complex relationships and motivations, and analyze Fitzgerald's use of literary techniques such as symbolism, modernism, and pathetic fallacy. Students must grasp sophisticated themes including the corruption of the American Dream, the contrast between old and new money, and the role of social class in 1920s America. The quiz also requires biographical knowledge of Fitzgerald and understanding of historical context, particularly the concept of the "Lost Generation" and the origins of American idealism. To succeed, students need strong reading comprehension skills, the ability to connect literary elements to broader themes, and familiarity with modernist literary techniques. Created by Danica Lemmons, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout a unit on *The Great Gatsby*. Teachers can use individual sections as warm-up activities to review previous reading assignments, assign portions as homework to ensure students are completing their reading, or deploy the full quiz as a summative assessment before a major test or essay assignment. The character identification questions work particularly well for formative assessment early in the unit, while the thematic and analytical questions provide excellent review material before final exams. The quiz effectively supports standards such as CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 and RL.11-12.1 for textual evidence, RL.9-10.3 and RL.11-12.3 for character analysis, and RL.9-10.9 and RL.11-12.9 for understanding how authors draw on and transform themes from American literature. This resource enables teachers to efficiently assess student comprehension while reinforcing critical literary analysis skills essential for advanced high school English coursework.
