About this resource
This quiz comprehensively assesses students' understanding of Jason Reynolds' novel "Long Way Down," covering the complete narrative arc and thematic elements appropriate for 10th-grade English literature study. The questions focus on plot comprehension, character relationships, and the symbolic significance of the elevator journey where Will encounters the ghosts of deceased family members and friends. Students must demonstrate knowledge of the "Rules" that govern the characters' neighborhood, understand the cycle of violence that has affected multiple generations, and analyze how each ghostly visitor attempts to influence Will's decision about seeking revenge for his brother Shawn's death. The assessment requires students to track complex family relationships, understand the tragic irony of mistaken identity in acts of revenge, and comprehend the novel's central message about the destructive nature of violence and retaliation. Created by Jessica Scott, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 10. This final test serves as a summative assessment tool that can effectively measure students' mastery of the novel's key plot points, character development, and thematic content. Teachers can use this quiz to evaluate reading comprehension, assess students' ability to recall specific details and analyze character motivations, and determine how well students understand the novel's exploration of grief, family loyalty, and moral decision-making. The assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.2 for determining themes, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3 for analyzing complex characters and plot development. This quiz works particularly well as a culminating assessment after completing the novel study unit, providing teachers with clear data about student comprehension while encouraging students to reflect on the powerful themes Reynolds presents about violence, family, and choice.
