About
This quiz thoroughly assesses 5th grade students' reading comprehension skills through detailed analysis of the novel "Airborn" by Kenneth Oppel. The questions require students to demonstrate multiple levels of understanding, from basic recall of story elements to higher-order thinking skills like inference and interpretation. Students must locate specific textual evidence, analyze character motivations and relationships, understand figurative language such as "moths dancing in his stomach," and interpret visual elements like sketches within the text. The quiz evaluates essential reading skills including identifying setting, point of view, genre classification, and character analysis, while also incorporating vocabulary development through context clues and glossary work. Students need strong text-dependent analysis abilities to succeed, as most questions require them to reference specific pages and paragraphs rather than relying on general story knowledge. Created by Taylor Kidwell, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 5. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes in the literature classroom, functioning effectively as a chapter test, reading comprehension check, or formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding of complex narrative elements. Teachers can utilize this quiz for homework assignments to reinforce close reading skills, as a review activity before discussing themes and character development, or as a warm-up to activate prior knowledge before continuing with subsequent chapters. The detailed page references make this an excellent tool for teaching students how to cite textual evidence, a crucial skill that aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.3. The vocabulary components support CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.4, helping students determine word meanings through context clues and reference materials, while the analysis of character relationships and story structure addresses CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.6 for understanding narrator perspective and point of view.
