About
Based on the questions in this quiz, students are demonstrating their comprehension of chapters 3-4 of the novel "Ghost" by Jason Reynolds through detailed character analysis, plot recall, and literary interpretation. This assessment targets 7th-8th grade English Language Arts students and requires them to understand character motivations, identify key plot events, analyze character relationships, and interpret figurative language and dialogue. Students must demonstrate higher-order thinking skills by making inferences about character traits, understanding irony in character nicknames, analyzing how characters serve as foils to one another, and recognizing the significance of specific scenes within the larger narrative structure. The questions assess vocabulary comprehension, character development understanding, and the ability to connect textual evidence to broader themes about socioeconomic challenges, mentorship, and personal growth. Created by Angie Saldana, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 7-8. This comprehensive reading comprehension quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the middle school English classroom, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before moving to subsequent chapters, as targeted review material before summative assessments, or as structured homework that reinforces close reading skills. The quiz supports classroom discussion by providing specific textual references that students can revisit to support their answers, while also building the analytical skills necessary for more complex literary analysis tasks. This assessment aligns with Common Core Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.3 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.3 for analyzing character interactions and plot development, and supports vocabulary development through context-based word analysis as outlined in CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.7.4 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.8.4.
