About this resource
This 6th grade English Language Arts quiz focuses on poetry analysis and vocabulary development through Linda Hogan's poem "Predators." Students demonstrate their understanding of poetry structure by identifying stanzas, quatrains, and the organizational elements that distinguish poetry from prose. The vocabulary component requires students to define and apply key terms like "cultivate," "domesticated," and "wild" in multiple contexts, moving beyond simple memorization to practical application. Students must also engage in close reading and literary analysis by interpreting the speaker's perspective, understanding the relationship between wild and domesticated animals in the poem, and making inferences about character motivations and symbolic meaning. The quiz assesses both literal comprehension and higher-order thinking skills as students analyze the poem's final stanza structure and determine the significance of the title "Predators." Created by Kelley Rath, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 6. This comprehensive assessment tool supports multiple instructional purposes throughout the poetry unit, serving effectively as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving to more complex literary analysis, or as a summative evaluation following close reading activities and vocabulary instruction. Teachers can deploy individual sections as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge about poetry structure, assign the vocabulary questions as homework to reinforce learning, or use the text-dependent questions for guided practice during small group instruction. The quiz aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.4 for determining word meanings, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.5 for analyzing text structure, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.6.4 for vocabulary acquisition, providing teachers with targeted data on student mastery of essential sixth-grade reading and language skills.
