About
This quiz comprehensively assesses students' reading comprehension and recall of "The Unteachables," a middle-grade novel that explores themes of perseverance, teacher-student relationships, and personal growth within a struggling classroom setting. Designed for grades 4-5, the assessment requires students to demonstrate literal comprehension skills by recalling specific plot details, character motivations, and key events throughout the story. Students must understand character development arcs, particularly how the "unteachable" students in SCS-8 evolve under Mr. Kermit's guidance, and grasp cause-and-effect relationships between character actions and consequences. The questions demand attention to narrative details such as why characters make specific choices, how conflicts arise and resolve, and what motivates character behavior changes throughout the novel. Created by Jennifer Shaw, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 4-5, this comprehensive book test serves multiple instructional purposes in the elementary classroom. Teachers can utilize this assessment as a summative evaluation tool following novel study completion, ensuring students have thoroughly engaged with and understood the complete text. The quiz functions effectively as a formal assessment of reading comprehension standards, measuring students' ability to cite textual evidence and analyze character development over the course of an entire novel. This assessment aligns with Common Core Standards RL.4.1, RL.4.3, RL.5.1, and RL.5.3, which focus on using text evidence to support comprehension and analyzing character traits and motivations. The final open-ended question encourages students to make text-to-text connections and develop reading preferences, supporting independent reading goals and fostering a lifelong love of literature.
