The House of the Spirits Novel Test

This is a short, 30 question assessment of the novel. It could also be used as a study guide or worksheet to help students recall significant characters and events. The test includes 20 matching questions where students match the description to the character, 10 quotation identification questions where students identify the speaker of the quotation and the context, and an answer key. This test can be taken in a 45 minute class and truly assesses students' knowledge of the novel. The quotes are appropriately selected to demonstrate students' understanding of the characters and major events. As a mostly objective test, it is also easy to score and provides good discussion prompts for the next day's lesson.
