About this resource

This comprehensive quiz addresses Mary Shelley's Gothic novel "Frankenstein," specifically covering the foundational chapters 1-10 that establish Victor Frankenstein's character development, family relationships, and scientific pursuits. The content is appropriate for 12th grade students who are analyzing complex literary themes including the consequences of unchecked ambition, the tension between scientific progress and moral responsibility, and the psychological deterioration of the protagonist. Students must demonstrate close reading skills to distinguish between character motivations and relationships, particularly Victor's interactions with his adopted sister Elizabeth, his friend Henry Clerval, and his university professors M. Krempe and M. Waldman. The questions require students to track the progression of Victor's obsession with reanimating dead tissue, understand the symbolic significance of natural phenomena like lightning strikes, and analyze the emotional and psychological consequences of his scientific breakthrough. To succeed on this assessment, students need strong comprehension of Gothic literary elements, character analysis skills, and the ability to identify cause-and-effect relationships within the narrative structure. Created by Fatima Baker, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 12. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before progressing to the novel's second half, where the creature's perspective and the full moral implications of Victor's actions unfold. Teachers can utilize this assessment as a chapter test following guided reading assignments, as a review activity before class discussions about scientific ethics and responsibility, or as homework to reinforce key plot points and character development. The quiz effectively supports classroom instruction by requiring students to move beyond surface-level plot recall to deeper analysis of character motivation and thematic significance. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3 for analyzing character development and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.2 for determining themes and analyzing their development, while also supporting CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1 through its emphasis on textual evidence and inference skills.
