About

This quiz focuses on Chapter 5 of Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night," covering critical events during Wiesel's imprisonment at the Buna concentration camp. The content is appropriate for 8th grade students studying Holocaust literature and requires students to demonstrate reading comprehension, character analysis, and understanding of historical context. Students must recall specific plot details including Elie's crisis of faith during Yom Kippur, the selection process that determined life or death for prisoners, family relationships under extreme duress, and the evacuation of Buna as Soviet forces approached. The questions assess students' ability to understand complex moral dilemmas, interpret character motivations, and recognize the broader historical significance of events within the narrative. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify specific textual evidence, as well as inferential thinking to understand the psychological and spiritual impact of the Holocaust experience on individuals and relationships. Created by an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 8, this quiz serves as an effective formative assessment tool for students reading this pivotal chapter of "Night." The quiz can be implemented as a post-reading comprehension check, homework assignment, or review activity before class discussions about faith, survival, and moral complexity during the Holocaust. Teachers can use this assessment to gauge student understanding before facilitating deeper analytical conversations about Wiesel's loss of faith, the impossible choices faced by concentration camp prisoners, and the irony of liberation. The multiple-choice format allows for quick assessment of basic comprehension while the content prepares students for more sophisticated literary analysis. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.3 for analyzing character development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.9 for analyzing how modern works of literature draw upon themes from traditional texts and historical events.
