About this resource
This quiz comprehensively assesses students' understanding of Ellen Raskin's mystery novel "The Westing Game," focusing on character identification, plot comprehension, and the intricate relationships between the sixteen heirs. The questions are appropriate for grades 5-7 and require students to demonstrate mastery of complex literary elements including character development, multiple identities, motives, and the resolution of the central mystery. Students need strong reading comprehension skills to track the numerous characters, their partnerships, occupations, and secrets throughout the novel. The assessment evaluates students' ability to recall specific details about Sam Westing's multiple personas, understand character motivations like Turtle's protective nature about her braid and Angela's reasons for the bombings, and follow the logical progression of clues that lead to solving the game. Success requires students to synthesize information about character relationships, distinguish between appearances and reality, and understand how the author uses red herrings and misdirection to create suspense. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying middle-grade literature. The assessment serves as an excellent culminating activity following completion of the novel, allowing teachers to evaluate comprehensive understanding before moving to higher-order analysis activities. This quiz works effectively as a formative assessment to identify students who may need additional support with plot details before engaging in essay writing or discussion-based activities about themes and literary devices. Teachers can use this as a review activity before a more comprehensive final exam, assign it as homework to reinforce reading, or implement it as a warmup to activate prior knowledge before beginning extension activities. The detailed character and plot questions align with Common Core standards RL.5.1, RL.6.1, and RL.7.1 for citing textual evidence, as well as RL.5.3, RL.6.3, and RL.7.3 for analyzing character development and plot progression.
