About this resource
This quiz focuses on chapters 3-5 of Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein*, targeting specific plot points and character developments during Victor's transition from family life to university studies and his fateful creation of the creature. The questions are designed for high school students, specifically grades 9-12, and assess reading comprehension, attention to detail, and knowledge of key narrative events. Students need to demonstrate their understanding of character relationships, particularly between Victor, Elizabeth, his mother, and Henry Clerval, while tracking the sequence of tragic events that shape Victor's psychological state. The quiz requires students to recall specific details about illnesses, deaths, educational institutions, and the emotional consequences of Victor's scientific ambitions, testing their ability to follow complex character motivations and plot developments in Gothic literature. Created by Michelle Carn, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This comprehension-based quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to ensure students are actively reading and understanding the critical early chapters that establish the novel's central conflicts. Teachers can use this quiz as a reading check after students complete chapters 3-5, as a warm-up activity to begin class discussions about Victor's character development, or as homework to reinforce key plot points before moving to more analytical work. The quiz effectively supports classroom instruction by confirming students have grasped essential narrative details necessary for deeper literary analysis, character studies, and thematic discussions about ambition, family, and responsibility that define Shelley's masterpiece. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1, which require students to cite textual evidence and demonstrate comprehension of literary texts.
