About this resource
This quiz focuses on vocabulary development through contextual application, specifically targeting academic and descriptive vocabulary words that 8th grade students encounter in literature and informational texts. The assessment requires students to demonstrate their understanding of ten vocabulary terms by selecting the correct word to complete each sentence in a coherent narrative passage. Students must analyze context clues, understand word meanings, recognize appropriate word forms and grammatical functions, and apply semantic knowledge to make logical choices. The core concepts assessed include vocabulary comprehension, contextual analysis, and the ability to distinguish between words with similar or related meanings. Success on this quiz requires students to move beyond simple definitional knowledge to demonstrate sophisticated understanding of how words function within specific contexts and how meaning is shaped by surrounding text. Created by Daniel Estrada, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 8. This vocabulary assessment serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, allowing teachers to gauge student mastery of key academic vocabulary before moving to summative evaluations. The quiz works effectively as a warm-up activity to activate prior vocabulary knowledge, as guided practice during vocabulary instruction, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning. Teachers can use the results to identify students who need additional vocabulary support and to inform future instruction about which words require more explicit teaching. The narrative format engages students while providing meaningful contexts that mirror the complex texts they encounter in their reading. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards L.8.4 (determining word meanings through context clues and analysis) and L.8.6 (acquiring and accurately using grade-appropriate vocabulary), supporting students' development of the academic language essential for success across all subject areas.
