About

This quiz focuses on American literature, specifically Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" chapters 12-14, and is designed for 9th grade students. The questions assess reading comprehension, character analysis, and understanding of significant themes including racial inequality, family dynamics, and coming-of-age elements. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify key plot points, character motivations, and setting details, while also demonstrating inferential thinking to understand symbolic elements like "the end of Jem's childhood" and the cultural significance of Calpurnia's code-switching behavior. The quiz requires students to analyze character relationships, particularly the tension between Aunt Alexandra and Atticus's parenting styles, and to understand the historical context of segregated churches and the injustices surrounding Tom Robinson's case. Created by Shelly Miller, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 9. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, from checking homework completion to providing formative assessment data on student understanding of crucial plot developments and thematic elements. Teachers can use this quiz as a reading check after students complete the assigned chapters, as a review tool before class discussions about racial dynamics and moral courage, or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before exploring deeper literary analysis. The quiz effectively supports classroom instruction by ensuring students have grasped fundamental story elements before moving into more complex discussions about symbolism, character development, and social commentary. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 for citing textual evidence and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3 for analyzing character development and interactions.
