Hello,

This is a teacher-made test that I created for assessing student knowledge of //The Color Purple.// It was made for a class in which knowledge of the book was not the only important aspect of the learning, but social issues and their implications were also stressed.

Here I have attached the test, a key for it, and a rationale for a unit that it would belong to.



I hope you enjoy these and they may even prove to be helpful to you.

Peace, -Nate Cartagena

Thanks for putting these here, Nate. They are carefully and professionally done. Why do you think it's important to test your students on their knowledge of this novel? What did you think was most important for them to know? I'm very interested to hear what you are thinking about on these points. And I'm also curious to know how you decided what wasn't as important, and what didn't go on the test? Did you take the test yourself, and did you find it difficult to ask or answer a question related to objective #8?
