About
This quiz centers on Veterans Day and military service, focusing on reading comprehension of an informational text about veterans and their contributions to American society. The content is appropriate for grades 5-7, requiring students to extract specific details, make connections between ideas, and demonstrate understanding of factual information about military service and Veterans Day traditions. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify explicit information from the text, such as statistics about women veterans, specific dates and locations of Veterans Day observances, and details about military programs like Take a Veteran to School Day. The questions also assess students' ability to understand vocabulary in context, particularly military terminology like "veteran," and to recognize how animals, specifically dogs, serve alongside human military personnel. Success requires careful reading attention to detail and the ability to distinguish between similar answer choices. Created by Amanda Newby, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 5 and 7. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for building reading comprehension skills while connecting students to important civic knowledge about military service and Veterans Day. Teachers can effectively use this assessment as a post-reading check following a Veterans Day unit, as homework to reinforce classroom discussions about military service, or as formative assessment to gauge student understanding before Veterans Day activities and school celebrations. The quiz works particularly well as a warm-up activity during November or as part of a broader social studies and English language arts integration focused on American traditions and civic responsibility. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.1, which require students to quote accurately from texts and cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text explicitly states.
