About
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and character analysis through a fictional story about unlikely friendship between a Snake and Sparrow. Designed for 5th grade students, the assessment evaluates students' ability to extract explicit information from text, understand character motivations and conflicts, identify themes, and make personal connections to literature. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to answer factual questions about plot details, inferential reasoning to understand why the animal parents objected to the friendship, and analytical thinking to identify common traits between characters despite their differences. The quiz progresses from basic recall questions to higher-order thinking tasks requiring students to complete statements about friendship qualities, reflect on personal relationships, and extract broader life lessons from the narrative. The mixed question format—including multiple choice, multiple select, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended responses—requires students to demonstrate comprehension through various modes of expression. Created by Haziq Hasbullah, a Fun teacher in Singapore who teaches grade 5. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge students' understanding of story elements, character development, and thematic content after reading the featured text. Teachers can implement this as a post-reading activity to check comprehension, use it as guided practice during literature circles, or assign it as independent homework to reinforce reading skills. The combination of objective and subjective questions makes it valuable for both quick comprehension checks and deeper literary discussions about friendship, acceptance, and overcoming differences. The open-ended questions particularly support classroom dialogue about personal experiences and moral lessons, encouraging students to connect literature to their own lives. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.1 for quoting accurately from text when explaining what the text says explicitly, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2 for determining themes and summarizing texts, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.3 for comparing and contrasting characters and their interactions within stories.
