About this resource
This quiz comprehensively assesses students' understanding of Act IV of Shakespeare's *The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet*, making it appropriate for 9th grade English Language Arts. The questions evaluate multiple levels of literary comprehension, from basic plot recall to sophisticated analysis of dramatic techniques. Students must demonstrate mastery of key plot developments including Friar Lawrence's deceptive plan, Juliet's feigned death through the sleeping potion, and the tragic miscommunication that drives the play toward its climax. The quiz requires students to analyze character motivations, identify dramatic irony, recognize literary devices like soliloquy, and understand how earlier plot elements gain new significance as the tragedy unfolds. Students need strong reading comprehension skills, the ability to track complex cause-and-effect relationships across multiple scenes, and familiarity with Shakespearean language and dramatic conventions to succeed on this assessment. Created by Ashley Taylor, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 9. This comprehensive assessment serves as an excellent summative evaluation tool following classroom study of Act IV, though individual sections could function effectively as formative assessments during reading. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a formal test after completing the act, use specific question clusters for daily comprehension checks, or assign portions as homework to reinforce key concepts from each scene. The varied question formats make it particularly valuable for differentiated instruction, allowing teachers to focus on plot comprehension with some students while challenging others with literary analysis questions. This assessment directly supports Common Core standards RL.9-10.1 (citing textual evidence), RL.9-10.3 (analyzing complex characters and plot development), and RL.9-10.5 (analyzing how dramatic structure contributes to meaning), while building the close reading skills essential for success with classical literature.

To marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow.

Get you gone, be strong and prosperous
In this resolve. I’ll send a friar with speed
To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord.
