About
This quiz focuses on literary analysis and reading comprehension skills centered around a nonfiction text titled "How Do You See Your Self(ie)." The content is appropriate for 10th grade English Language Arts, requiring students to demonstrate sophisticated analytical thinking about author's purpose, thesis identification, and textual evidence interpretation. Students must synthesize information to determine the author's dual purposes for writing, identify the central thesis among competing ideas, and analyze how key supporting ideas develop the main argument. The quiz demands higher-order thinking skills including inference-making, particularly when students must interpret the author's point of view through careful analysis of word choice and connotation. Students need strong command of literary terminology such as thesis, author's purpose, and textual evidence, along with the ability to distinguish between explicit information and implied meanings within complex informational texts. Created by Briona Haffizulla, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 10. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment of students' analytical reading skills and can be effectively used as a follow-up activity after reading the assigned text, homework to reinforce comprehension, or review material before a larger assessment on nonfiction analysis. The questions scaffold students' understanding by moving from basic comprehension of author's purpose to more complex analysis of textual evidence and inference skills. This assessment aligns with Common Core State Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.2 for determining central ideas and analyzing their development, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.6 for determining author's point of view and purpose, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.1 for citing strong textual evidence to support analysis of what the text explicitly says as well as inferences drawn from the text.
