About this resource

This quiz focuses on the Protestant Reformation, a pivotal religious and political movement in 16th-century European history. Designed for 7th grade students, the assessment covers essential concepts including Martin Luther's role as the catalyst for reform, his 95 Theses challenging the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences, and the broader consequences of his actions. Students must demonstrate understanding of key vocabulary terms such as reformation, indulgence, and predestination, while also grasping cause-and-effect relationships like Henry VIII's break with Rome over his divorce and the Catholic Church's response through excommunication. The questions require students to connect the invention of the printing press to the spread of reformist ideas and understand how the Reformation paralleled Renaissance thinking by encouraging people to question established traditions and authority. Created by Sarah Hughes, a History teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, from introducing vocabulary at the unit's beginning to providing comprehensive review before summative assessments. Teachers can deploy it as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, assign it for homework to reinforce daily lessons, or use it for formative assessment to gauge student comprehension of reformation concepts. The mix of factual recall and analytical thinking questions makes it particularly effective for identifying students who may need additional support with either content knowledge or historical reasoning skills. This assessment aligns with NCSS.D2.His.1.6-8 and NCSS.D2.His.3.6-8 standards, requiring students to analyze historical context and focus inquiry to explain historical developments in medieval and early modern times.
