The Long Way Down assessment resources will help you measure how well students are understanding Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds and how well they can apply literary skills taught throughout a unit. These editable quizzes and a differentiated test use rigorous lines of questioning to challenge students’ knowledge of the novel’s content and literary elements.
 
Comprehension and Literary Analysis Quizzes: The 8 comprehension and literary quizzes assess students on the events, characters, details of the novel, and literary analysis. For every section of the novel, the quizzes include a variety of question types including: 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 short answer questions requiring a written response. Answer keys are included.
 
Essay Choice Board: This resource contains 4 different essay questions. The questions are aligned to literary skills and are also Common Core aligned, and a rubric is provided for grading.
 
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™. With these links, you can have students complete their assessments online. All they will have to do is fill out the Google Form™! There are links for every assessment, making the format friendly not only for technology but also trees.
 
Exit Ticket Forms: The forms can serve as a small skills assessment at the end of each lesson. The ticket has room for a question-of-the-day as well as an effort rating.
