Shakespeare Quiz
Students,
Please click the link above to
take the Shakespeare quiz following the PowerPoint Presentation on
Shakespeare's life and continued legacy. Included are several questions about
literary terms that we will be examining while we study several of
Shakespeare's plays. The quiz is meant to test your general knowledge of
Shakespeare's life and to give me an idea of how well you know some of the
literary techniques used by Shakespeare. This quiz is not worth points but is
meant to show me where you are right now.
Please remember that some of these
questions will appear on later quizzes and on the exam at the end of the unit.
It is because this quiz is meant to fall
towards the beginning of the Shakespeare unit and is meant to test current
understanding and not worth points that the quiz is a formative assessment. The
large exam at the end of the Shakespeare will cover everything learned during
this unit and will be worth a good deal of points; the end-unit Shakespeare
exam will be a summative assessment.
The results of this quiz will help to
determine which of Shakespeare's plays we will work with during the course of
the unit and will help to influence how much time in the unit we spend focusing
on literary techniques and Shakespeare's use of them. If necessary, we will
also have an exam on literary techniques. Because of this, it would behoove
students to refresh their memories of literary techniques so that more time can
be spend more time focusing on Shakespeare's works.
