About
This quiz focuses on Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein*, specifically covering the foundational chapters 1-6 that establish the novel's key characters, relationships, and initial plot developments. Designed for 12th-grade students, the assessment requires comprehension of literary elements including narrative structure, character development, and thematic analysis. Students must demonstrate their ability to track multiple narrators, understand character motivations and relationships, and identify the influences that shape Victor Frankenstein's scientific pursuits. The questions demand close reading skills and the ability to distinguish between characters' roles and significance within the gothic narrative. Students need to grasp the cause-and-effect relationships that drive the plot forward, particularly Victor's transformation from enthusiastic scientist to horrified creator, as well as understand the symbolic importance of natural phenomena in romantic literature. Created by Scarlett Shannon, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 12. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment after students complete the opening chapters of this challenging classic novel. Teachers can deploy this assessment as a reading check to ensure students are following the complex narrative structure and character introductions that Shelley establishes early in the text. The quiz works effectively as a warm-up activity to begin class discussions about Victor's character development, as homework to reinforce reading assignments, or as review material before deeper analytical work on themes and literary devices. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1 for citing textual evidence to support analysis, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3 for analyzing character development and plot advancement, and supports the close reading skills essential for success with complex literary texts at the advanced high school level.
