About this resource
This quiz assesses 7th-grade students' comprehension of Chapter 20 in Lois Lowry's dystopian novel "The Giver," focusing on the pivotal moments when Jonas discovers the true nature of "release" and plans his escape from the community. Students need a solid understanding of the novel's themes including the suppression of emotions, the burden of memory, and the moral awakening of the protagonist. The questions require students to analyze character motivations, identify key plot developments, and understand the cause-and-effect relationships that drive the story's climax. Students must demonstrate their ability to recall specific details about Jonas's emotional transformation, the relationship between Jonas and The Giver, and the significance of memory as both a burden and a gift. The complexity of these questions aligns with middle school reading comprehension standards that emphasize character analysis, theme identification, and understanding of narrative structure. Created by Raymonette Nora, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment following students' reading of Chapter 20, helping teachers gauge comprehension of crucial plot points before moving to the novel's conclusion. The quiz works effectively as a warm-up activity to begin class discussion about Jonas's moral dilemma, or as homework to reinforce key concepts after independent reading. Teachers can use this assessment to identify students who may need additional support understanding the complex themes of moral responsibility and sacrifice that emerge in this chapter. The questions align with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.3 for analyzing character interactions and plot development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.6 for understanding how an author develops point of view through character perspective and emotional growth.
