About this resource

This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and literary analysis of the "Six Minutes" podcast series, specifically episodes 1-16. The questions assess students' ability to recall specific plot details, track character development, identify setting elements, and follow narrative progression through a serialized mystery story. Students need strong listening comprehension skills to process audio content, attention to detail for tracking multiple characters and plot threads, and the ability to distinguish between major and minor story elements. The complexity of character relationships, plot twists involving mysterious elements like hoverboards and secret rooms, and the sustained attention required for 16 episodes of content make this appropriate for grades 4-8, with the mystery elements and character motivations particularly suited for middle grade students who can handle more sophisticated narrative structures. Created by Cynthia Karner, an Other subject teacher in the US who teaches grades 4-8. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to ensure students are actively engaging with the podcast content and retaining key story elements as the narrative unfolds. Teachers can use this as a checkpoint after students complete the first 16 episodes, either as homework to reinforce listening comprehension or as an in-class review activity to discuss plot developments before continuing with later episodes. The quiz works particularly well for literature circles focused on audio texts or as part of a media literacy unit that incorporates podcasts as legitimate literary texts. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.1, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.1, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1, which require students to refer to details and examples in texts when explaining what the text says explicitly, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.4.2, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.5.2, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.2, which focus on comprehending information presented in diverse media formats.
