About
This quiz focuses on Chapter 2 of Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night," specifically examining the harrowing train journey to Auschwitz and the character of Madame Schächter. Designed for 9th grade English Language Arts students, the assessment requires deep comprehension of Holocaust literature, symbolic interpretation, and literary device recognition. Students must demonstrate their ability to analyze characterization, particularly Madame Schächter's role as both victim and prophet, while understanding the escalating brutality of the Nazi deportation process. The questions demand mastery of literary concepts including foreshadowing, dramatic irony, and symbolism, as students explore how Wiesel uses Madame Schächter's visions to represent the impending horror that awaits the Jewish prisoners. Students need strong textual evidence skills to support their understanding of the dehumanization process, the passengers' psychological responses to trauma, and the historical context of the concentration camp system. Created by Charese Johnson, an English teacher in the United States who teaches grade 9. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student comprehension before moving to subsequent chapters, or as a summative evaluation of students' analytical reading skills. The quiz works exceptionally well for homework assignments that encourage students to revisit the text for specific details, while also serving as an engaging warm-up activity to spark classroom discussions about literary symbolism and historical context. Teachers can utilize this assessment for review sessions before major tests, helping students synthesize their understanding of Wiesel's narrative techniques and thematic development. The quiz aligns with Common Core State Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3 for analyzing character development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.4 for determining the meaning of literary devices and their impact on the text's meaning and tone.
