For this assignment I was tasked with creating a 10 minute quiz based on a lesson I observed at CFHS. I have chosen to do a quiz on symbols present in Goldberg's "Lord of the Flies." Student responses should be at least 3 complete sentences.
1) What is the symbolism of the conch shell? What does it's use in the novel say about the boys' connection to civilization?
2) What is the Lord of the Flies? What does it say about the human heart?
This quiz forces students to participate on the Knowledge level of Bloom's taxonomy, having them recall facts from the text. It also requires them to move to the higher level of Analysis, examining the symbolism in the two objects. There is some Evaluation when asking the students about the human heart, but I wouldn't want the students getting too detailed for just a 10 minute quiz.
I could asses the tests in 10 minutes by determining whether the students were able to identify the symbols and evaluate the thoughtfulness of their responses.
