About
This quiz focuses on Chapter 6 of Gary Paulsen's novel "Hatchet," a survival story that follows protagonist Brian Robeson as he learns to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. Designed for 6th grade students, the questions assess reading comprehension skills including literal comprehension, character analysis, and the ability to identify cause-and-effect relationships within the narrative. Students need to demonstrate their understanding of key survival elements such as shelter construction, food procurement, and environmental challenges that Brian faces. The quiz requires students to recall specific details about Brian's decision-making process, his discovery of berries, his shelter-building techniques, and the various obstacles he encounters including insects and the effects of eating unfamiliar food. Students must also connect Brian's current situation to his past experiences and understand how his previous activities with his friend Terry become relevant to his survival needs. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying 6th grade English Language Arts. The assessment serves as an effective tool for checking student comprehension after reading Chapter 6, ensuring that students are following the plot progression and understanding Brian's character development as he adapts to wilderness survival. Teachers can use this quiz as a formative assessment to gauge whether students are ready to progress to subsequent chapters, as a homework assignment to reinforce reading accountability, or as a warm-up activity to review key events before class discussion. The questions support close reading skills by requiring students to distinguish between similar details and remember specific textual evidence. This type of comprehension check aligns with Common Core standards RL.6.1 (citing textual evidence to support analysis), RL.6.3 (analyzing how plot unfolds and how characters respond to challenges), and RL.6.10 (reading and comprehending literature in the grades 6-8 text complexity band).
