Night Ch 1-3 Review is a free printable Grade 8 English worksheet that checks students’ comprehension of the opening chapters of Elie Wiesel’s Night. The 18-item review includes 16 multiple-choice questions, one multiple-select question, and one fill-in-the-blank item covering character relationships, key events, reasons for characters’ actions, first-person point of view, deportation experiences, camp settings, family separation, and identifying details such as Elie’s assigned number. Students use specific evidence from Chapters 1–3 to distinguish characters such as Moishe the Beadle, Meir Katz, and Stein; track the movement from Sighet to Birkenau and Auschwitz; and recall important moments involving Mrs. Schacter, Elie, and Shlomo. The multiple-select item requires students to evaluate several options, while the final fill-in-the-blank item checks accurate recall of a textual detail. An answer key supports efficient review, independent practice, or comprehension assessment.

FAQs

What does the Night Ch 1-3 Review worksheet cover?

This Grade 8 English worksheet reviews comprehension of Chapters 1–3 of Night through 16 multiple-choice questions, one multiple-select item, and one fill-in-the-blank question. Students identify character relationships, explain causes of key events, recognize first-person point of view, sequence the movement from Sighet to Birkenau and Auschwitz, and recall important details such as Elie’s assigned number.

How can I use this worksheet to teach comprehension of Night Chapters 1–3?

Use the review after students have read Chapters 1–3 to move from recall to evidence-based discussion. Before students answer, have them annotate a simple sequence of events from Sighet to Birkenau and Auschwitz, then ask them to justify choices about Mrs. Schacter’s behavior, Elie’s family, and the narrator’s first-person point of view with details from the text. Use the multiple-select item to model how readers evaluate every option rather than stopping after finding one plausible answer.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this Night review?

Students may confuse Moishe the Beadle with Elie’s father, mix up Birkenau and Auschwitz, or reverse the order in which Elie and his family encounter those camps. They may also select only one correct response on the multiple-select question, overlook that the narrator uses first-person point of view, or write Elie’s number without the correct letter-and-number format in the fill-in-the-blank item. Check that students distinguish Mrs. Schacter’s separation from her family from the later reason the prisoners beat her.

How do I assign and grade the Night Ch 1-3 Review worksheet?

The Night Ch 1-3 Review is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, with a complete answer key for the 18 questions. You can grade printable submissions by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, or review responses from the digital version. The printable format also supports schools that are reducing screen time.

How can I differentiate this Night Chapters 1–3 worksheet for my students?

In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing and font size to make the multiple-choice options, multiple-select choices, and final fill-in-the-blank item easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that supports access to the chapter-review questions. These changes modify the worksheet file while preserving its review format.
