About this resource

This quiz comprehensively assesses students' understanding of Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night," covering the complete narrative arc from the early warnings in Sighet through the liberation of the concentration camps. The questions target grade 9-10 level literary analysis skills, requiring students to demonstrate mastery of plot comprehension, character development, thematic analysis, and literary devices including foreshadowing, symbolism, irony, and figurative language. Students must synthesize complex historical and literary concepts, analyzing how Wiesel's personal experience during the Holocaust illustrates broader themes of faith, survival, dehumanization, and the father-son relationship under extreme circumstances. The assessment demands higher-order thinking skills as students interpret symbolic elements like the significance of night as a metaphor, understand the irony of religious observance in the camps, and analyze how literary techniques enhance the memoir's emotional impact. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying Holocaust literature and memoir in grades 9-10. The comprehensive nature of this assessment makes it an excellent tool for summative evaluation following completion of the entire novel, though individual sections could serve as chapter-by-chapter formative assessments throughout the reading process. Teachers can utilize this quiz for final unit examinations, comprehensive review sessions before standardized assessments, or as a homework assignment to reinforce reading comprehension and analytical thinking skills. The variety of question formats—including multiple choice, true/false, matching, and analytical questions—supports differentiated assessment approaches while maintaining rigorous academic standards. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards RL.9-10.1, RL.9-10.2, RL.9-10.3, and RL.9-10.4, as it requires students to cite textual evidence, determine themes, analyze character development, and interpret figurative language within this significant work of Holocaust literature.
