About
This quiz focuses on the historical fiction book "I Survived Gettysburg, 1863" and assesses elementary students' reading comprehension and recall of key story details. Designed for grades 2-3, the questions test students' ability to remember character relationships, plot events, and basic historical context from the Civil War era. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify characters like Thomas, Clem, and various soldiers, recall specific story events including the Battle of Gettysburg, and understand the fundamental conflict between North and South regarding slavery. The quiz requires students to distinguish between different characters' roles and relationships, remember geographic locations, and track character outcomes throughout the narrative. These comprehension questions build foundational reading skills by encouraging students to pay attention to character details, setting, and cause-and-effect relationships within a historical context. Created by Joey Carnefix, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 2-3. This comprehension quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the elementary classroom, functioning effectively as a post-reading assessment to gauge student understanding of the novel's key elements. Teachers can utilize this quiz as a formative assessment tool to identify which students successfully retained important story details and which may need additional support with reading comprehension strategies. The quiz works well for independent practice, small group review sessions, or as homework to reinforce reading at home. It can also serve as a discussion starter for deeper conversations about the Civil War period and the experiences of enslaved people during this historical era. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.1, which require students to ask and answer questions about key details in literary texts and demonstrate understanding of text by referring explicitly to the text as the basis for answers.
