About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and literary analysis of "Fish in a Tree," a middle-grade novel by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Designed for 6th grade students, these questions assess multiple levels of comprehension including literal understanding, inferential thinking, and literary analysis skills. Students need to demonstrate their ability to identify main themes, character development, literary devices, setting, conflict, and tone throughout the novel's chapters. The questions require students to track character growth, particularly Ally's journey with dyslexia and self-acceptance, while analyzing how supporting characters like Mr. Daniels contribute to the protagonist's development. Students must also understand symbolic meaning, such as the significance of the book's title metaphor, and recognize how literary elements work together to create meaning in the text. Created by Sarah Williams, an English teacher in India who teaches grade 6. This comprehensive chapter-by-chapter quiz serves as an excellent tool for monitoring student understanding as they progress through the novel, making it ideal for formative assessment or guided reading discussions. Teachers can use individual questions as daily warm-ups to check comprehension before diving into class discussions, or assign the complete quiz as a summative assessment after students finish reading the book. The sequential chapter format makes it perfect for homework assignments that reinforce reading accountability, while the focus on literary elements supports classroom instruction on character analysis, theme identification, and symbolic interpretation. This quiz aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2 for determining themes and character development, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.4 for analyzing word choice and meaning in literary texts.
