Mark Twain: Biography Assessment

From Electric English... This is an assessment for the A & E Biography, "Mark Twain: His Amazing Adventures". It asks students to make inferences from their reading, from Twain's life experiences, and from their class discussions, then apply that knowledge to the questions on the assessment. The questions for this assessment are more rudimentary than I normally like to ask, but hey, every once and a while, it's nice to throw the kids a bone. And, I mean that idiom in the best way :)
