About this resource
This quiz focuses on English Language Arts reading comprehension and literary analysis at the 5th grade level. The questions require students to analyze multiple texts including Langston Hughes' poem "I, Too," Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing," and the historical fiction story "Gold Country." Students must demonstrate deep comprehension skills by identifying narrator characteristics, finding textual evidence to support interpretations, using context clues and dictionary skills to determine word meanings, comparing and contrasting different authors' portrayals of America, and distinguishing between firsthand and fictional accounts. The assessment evaluates students' ability to sequence story events, interpret figurative language like similes, identify point of view and narrative perspective, and synthesize themes across multiple texts. Students need strong foundational reading skills, the ability to make inferences, and competency in analyzing how authors craft their messages through literary devices and narrative choices. Created by Scott Denman, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 5. This comprehensive assessment serves as an excellent tool for evaluating student understanding after completing a unit on American literature and immigration themes. The quiz works effectively as a benchmark assessment to measure student progress on key reading standards, and can be implemented as a summative evaluation following instruction or as a diagnostic tool to identify areas needing reinforcement. Teachers can use this assessment for formal grading, as a review activity before standardized testing, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning. The varied question formats including multiple choice, sequencing, and multi-select responses align with CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.2 for determining themes, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.3 for comparing characters and events, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.4 for determining word meanings, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.6 for analyzing point of view, and CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.9 for comparing texts on similar topics.
