About this resource
This quiz focuses on Charlotte Perkins Gilman's classic short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," covering both literary analysis and historical context. Designed for 11th-grade students, the assessment examines fundamental elements of fiction including point of view, irony, characterization, and inference skills. Students need to understand narrative perspective, recognize situational irony where actions produce opposite effects from those intended, and analyze character relationships and motivations. The questions require close reading comprehension to track the narrator's psychological deterioration throughout the story, identify symbolic elements like the wallpaper pattern and the woman trapped behind it, and understand the power dynamics between the narrator and her husband. Students must also demonstrate knowledge of the historical context surrounding the "rest cure" treatment and Gilman's personal motivations for writing this feminist literary work. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying 11th-grade American literature. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a comprehension check after students complete the reading, a review tool before class discussions about feminist themes in literature, or a formative assessment to gauge student understanding of both plot elements and deeper literary analysis. Teachers can use this quiz as homework to reinforce reading assignments, as a warm-up activity to begin class discussions about 19th-century women's rights, or as practice for standardized literary analysis tasks. The questions align with Common Core standards RL.11-12.1 for textual evidence and inference, RL.11-12.3 for character development analysis, and RL.11-12.6 for point of view analysis, while also supporting RL.11-12.9 through the inclusion of historical context about the author's purpose and personal experience with the rest cure treatment.
