About

This quiz focuses on the trial of Justine and its aftermath in Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein*, specifically covering chapters 8 and 9 of the novel. The questions are appropriate for 12th grade students studying British Gothic literature, requiring close reading comprehension, character analysis, and understanding of plot development. Students need to demonstrate their grasp of key narrative events, including the false accusation against Justine for William's murder, the evidence planted against her, and the emotional responses of Victor, Elizabeth, and Alphonse to the tragic outcome. The quiz assesses students' ability to identify direct quotations and attribute them to specific characters, analyze the significance of Victor's growing guilt and recognition of his responsibility, and track the geographical movements and relationships between characters. Students must understand the dramatic irony present in these chapters, particularly Victor's internal conflict as he knows the true murderer but cannot reveal this knowledge without exposing his own terrible creation. Created by Eric Fohl, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 12. This comprehensive quiz serves as an excellent tool for checking student comprehension after reading these pivotal chapters in *Frankenstein*. Teachers can use this assessment for formative evaluation during novel study, as a homework assignment to ensure students are keeping up with reading assignments, or as review material before a larger unit test on Gothic literature. The detailed questions about character dialogue and specific plot points make it particularly effective for identifying students who may need additional support with close reading strategies. This quiz aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1, requiring students to cite strong textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3, which focuses on analyzing the impact of author's choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story. The emphasis on character analysis and thematic understanding also supports CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.2, helping students determine themes and analyze their development throughout the text.
