About this resource
This quiz focuses on the novel "Grenade" by Alan Gratz, a work of historical fiction that explores World War II through multiple perspectives, particularly the Battle of Okinawa. The questions are appropriate for grades 7-8, requiring students to demonstrate reading comprehension skills including recall of specific details, character analysis, and understanding of historical context. Students must retain factual information about characters, plot events, relationships, and historical elements while navigating the complex narrative structure that alternates between different viewpoints during wartime. The quiz assesses students' ability to distinguish between characters from different cultural backgrounds, understand family dynamics and cultural references, and comprehend the broader historical setting of the Pacific Theater during WWII. Created by Christopher Domenech, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 7 and 8. This comprehensive quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, allowing teachers to gauge student comprehension of key plot points, character development, and historical details from the novel. The quiz works effectively as a chapter review, reading check, or homework assignment to ensure students are actively engaging with the text and retaining important narrative elements. Teachers can use this assessment to identify students who may need additional support with reading comprehension or historical context before moving forward with more complex literary analysis activities. The questions align with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.1, which require students to cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly, as well as CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.3 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.3 for analyzing character interactions and plot development.
