About
This quiz focuses on the concluding chapters (21 and 22) of "Summer of the Mariposas" by Guadalupe García McCall, a contemporary young adult novel that blends Mexican folklore with a coming-of-age narrative. Designed for middle school students in grades 6-8, these questions assess reading comprehension and textual analysis skills at an age-appropriate level. Students need strong literal comprehension abilities to identify specific plot details, character interactions, and symbolic elements like the white roses and butterfly imagery. The quiz evaluates students' understanding of character development, particularly Odilia's growth throughout the story, supernatural elements involving La Llorona and La Virgen de Guadalupe, and resolution details including family relationships and the protagonist's birthday celebration. Success requires careful attention to descriptive language, metaphorical comparisons, and the cultural significance embedded within the narrative's magical realism elements. Created by Sean Donagan, a teacher in the US who teaches grades 6 and 9. This comprehension quiz serves as an effective formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding of the novel's climactic chapters and conclusion. Teachers can implement this quiz as a post-reading check after students complete chapters 21 and 22, ensuring they grasp key plot developments before moving to final discussions or projects. The questions work well for homework assignments, allowing students to reference the text while demonstrating their comprehension, or as classroom review activities that prepare students for more comprehensive assessments. This resource supports standards including CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1 and RL.6.3, which require students to cite textual evidence and analyze character development, while also addressing RL.6.7 through questions about cultural elements and symbolic imagery that enhance the narrative's themes.
