About
This quiz covers African American television shows and movies spanning from the 1990s through contemporary productions, making it most appropriate for grades 9-12. The content requires students to demonstrate recall of specific details from Black entertainment media, including character names, plot elements, memorable quotes, theme song lyrics, cast members, and cultural references. Students need familiarity with classic sitcoms like "Martin," "Living Single," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and "Family Matters," as well as more recent productions such as "Black-ish," "Grown-ish," and "Power." The quiz also tests knowledge of influential films including "Get Out," "Friday," "Coming to America," "Love & Basketball," and "Juice." To succeed, students must possess comprehensive knowledge of African American popular culture, understand cultural significance of phrases like "Bye Felicia" and "Dang Mama," and recognize connections between actors and their various roles across different productions. Created by Ernest Ross, an Other teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This quiz serves as an engaging cultural literacy assessment that can strengthen student connection to academic content through familiar media references. Teachers can implement this as a fun Friday warm-up activity, use it during Black History Month celebrations, or incorporate it into media literacy units that examine representation in entertainment. The quiz works effectively for review sessions, homework assignments, or formative assessments that gauge students' cultural knowledge while building classroom community through shared popular culture experiences. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.9-10.7 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.9-10.1, as students must interpret and analyze cultural texts while demonstrating critical thinking about media representations and their impact on society.
