About this resource

This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and literary analysis of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," specifically covering the pivotal events in chapters 7-9. Designed for middle school students in grades 7-8, the questions assess students' ability to recall specific plot details, understand character motivations, and analyze key themes such as social class conflict, loyalty, and coming-of-age. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify specific story events like Johnny's injuries, the rumble outcome, and character interactions. They must also demonstrate inferential thinking to understand deeper character motivations, such as Randy's decision not to fight and Bob's relationship with his parents. The quiz requires students to synthesize information across multiple chapters, connecting earlier events like Bob's assault on Johnny to later revelations about his rings, and to understand how character relationships evolve throughout this crucial section of the novel. Created by Allison Beadle, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 7 and 8. This comprehensive assessment supports instruction by evaluating students' understanding of critical plot developments and character growth during the novel's climactic chapters. Teachers can use this quiz as a formative assessment after students complete chapters 7-9, helping identify which students need additional support with reading comprehension or literary analysis before moving forward. It works effectively as a review tool before class discussions about the rumble and Johnny's death, or as homework to ensure students are actively reading and processing the text. The quiz can also serve as a warm-up activity to begin lessons focused on the novel's major themes of brotherhood, sacrifice, and social division. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.1, which require students to cite textual evidence to support analysis of literary texts, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.3 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.3, which focus on analyzing character development and plot advancement.
