Black Brother, Black Brother Assessments – Snapshot of Included Resources:

  • 14 Mini-Quizzes to Check for Understanding – 3 Questions per Quiz
  • 4 Novel Quizzes – Each Part of Novel
  • 2 Final Assessments to Accommodate for Learners (A & B)
  • Essay Choice Board – 5 Prompts
  • Digital Links for Google Drive™
  • Google Forms™
  • Answer Keys for Applicable Resources
The Black Brother, Black Brother assessment resources will help you measure how well students are understanding the novel Black Brother, Black Brother by Jewell Parker Rhodes and how well they can apply literary skills taught throughout a unit.
Chapter Set Reading Checks: The 14 chapter reading checks assess students’ basic understanding of each reading. Each quiz asks three questions related to the events of each chapter grouping. The quiz can be used at the end of class or if assigning reading for homework, can assess whether or not students did, in fact, complete their work. An answer key is included.
 
Comprehension and Literary Quizzes: The 4 comprehension and literary quizzes assess students on the events, characters, and details of the novel. For each part of the novel (The Crime, Training, Bout, Seeing Me), the quizzes include a variety of question types including: sequence of events, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and short answer questions. Answer keys for each quiz are included.
 
Final Tests: The two final tests ask students to apply the literacy skills they’ve developed over the course of the novel study. Each version assesses the same skills, but in different ways and at different levels of rigor. One assessment contains questions that emphasize comprehension abilities (Assessment A) while the other assessment contains questions that emphasize analytic abilities (Assessment B). Each question is aligned to a specific skill and, in turn, a specific Common Core State Standard. The first part of each test is a character quote matching section. The second part of each test contains 15 multiple choice questions, and the final part of each test asks 6-7 short answer questions requiring a written response. Answer keys are included.
 
Essay Choice Board: This resource contains 5 different essay questions. The questions are aligned to literary skills and are also Common Core aligned.
 
Final Reflection: On the last day of the unit, students can spend class time reflecting on their experience through the unit reflection questions. The reflection asks specific questions about individual experiences that can then serve as a way to guide future implementation of resources.
 
Google Forms™ Links: This resource is also technology friendly! It can be utilized in classrooms or formats where computers or tablets are central to instruction because the resource has been adapted for digital completion. The resource includes links for students to complete the assessments in Google Forms™. For instance, students can work with the documents in Google Drive™ or via Google Classroom™.
