About
This quiz focuses on chapter 10 of Gary Paulsen's novel "Hatchet," specifically examining Brian's discovery and consumption of turtle eggs following his nighttime encounter with a turtle. The questions assess 6th-7th grade reading comprehension skills, requiring students to recall specific plot details, sequence events, and understand character motivations and reactions. Students need strong literal comprehension abilities to identify key story elements such as what woke Brian (a turtle), what he discovered (17 turtle eggs buried in sand), how he opened them (by gently crushing the shells), and his subsequent decision-making about food preservation. The quiz also tests students' ability to connect Brian's past experiences with his current situation, such as remembering Uncle Carter's eating habits and Brian's knowledge about sea turtles from various sources. Success on this assessment requires careful attention to textual details and the ability to distinguish between similar answer choices that test precise recall rather than general understanding. Created by Kimberly Clark, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 6 and 7. This comprehension quiz serves as an effective tool for checking student understanding after reading chapter 10, ensuring they have grasped the essential plot developments and character details before moving forward in the novel. Teachers can deploy this assessment as a quick warmup to activate prior knowledge before discussing the chapter, as guided practice during literature circles, or as homework to reinforce independent reading. The quiz works particularly well for formative assessment, allowing educators to identify students who may need additional support with reading comprehension or who might benefit from re-reading challenging sections. The specific, detail-oriented questions align with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1, which require students to cite textual evidence when drawing inferences and supporting analysis of what the text explicitly states.
