About this resource
This quiz focuses on literary analysis and reading comprehension, specifically examining a text about the relationship between a narrator and the poet Walt Whitman. The questions are appropriate for 11th grade students and assess multiple layers of literary understanding. Students need strong vocabulary skills to define terms like "inclination" and "congenial," as well as the ability to identify literary devices such as parallel structure. The quiz requires students to analyze character relationships, interpret tone, and make inferences about the narrator's connection to both real and literary figures. Students must demonstrate comprehension of complex themes including the transformative power of literature, the nature of inspiration, and how readers form meaningful relationships with authors through their work. Created by Layana Shunnar, an English teacher in the United Arab Emirates who teaches grade 11. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for assessing students' close reading abilities and their understanding of how literature impacts readers personally. Teachers can use this as a formative assessment following a reading assignment, as homework to reinforce comprehension skills, or as a review activity before discussing broader themes about literary influence and reader response. The mix of multiple-choice and true/false questions makes it versatile for both individual practice and classroom discussion. This assessment aligns with standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1 for citing textual evidence to support analysis, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.4 for determining meanings of words and phrases, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.6 for analyzing point of view and rhetorical choices in literary texts.
