About
This quiz assesses 6th grade students' comprehension of Margaret Peterson Haddix's dystopian novel "Among the Hidden." The questions evaluate multiple levels of reading comprehension, from basic recall of plot details and character identification to higher-order thinking skills including character analysis, mood and tone recognition, vocabulary in context, and author's purpose. Students must demonstrate their understanding of the novel's dystopian setting where third children are illegal "shadow children," the characterization of protagonists Luke and Jen, and the story's themes of government control and individual freedom. The quiz requires students to analyze character motivations, make inferences about relationships and beliefs, interpret figurative language, and connect textual evidence to broader themes about totalitarian societies and personal courage. Created by Lori Donatelli, an English teacher in the United States who teaches grade 6. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes in the middle school English classroom, functioning effectively as a summative test following completion of the novel study unit. Teachers can utilize portions of this quiz for formative assessment during reading to gauge student comprehension, assign sections as homework to reinforce daily reading assignments, or implement it as review material before larger assessments. The varied question formats—including multiple choice, true/false, matching, and text analysis—align with Common Core standards RL.6.1 (citing textual evidence), RL.6.2 (determining themes), RL.6.3 (analyzing character development), RL.6.4 (determining word meanings), and RL.6.6 (explaining author's purpose). This assessment effectively measures students' ability to engage with complex literary themes while developing critical thinking skills essential for analyzing dystopian literature.
