The War That Saved My Life Chapter Quizzes, Literary Essays & Quick Writes Printable & Digital | Grades 5–7 | Answer Keys Included (PDF Only) When I started teaching The War That Saved My Life, I wanted quick ways to check comprehension and also give my students meaningful writing practice. That’s why I created this resource. It combines chapter quizzes, literary essay prompts, and quick writes to save time and keep assessment simple but effective. There are seven comprehension quizzes organized by chapter sections. Each one includes multiple-choice questions for quick checks, two short responses, and one extended response to encourage text-based answers and critical thinking. The Google Forms versions make digital grading easy, and they’re completely editable, so you can customize questions or scoring as needed. In addition to the quizzes, you’ll find 10 literary essay prompts with a rubric to help guide structured writing about theme, character development, conflict, symbolism, and more. For shorter writing practice, there are 5 quick-write prompts that are perfect for warm-ups or reflection after reading. What’s Included ✔ 7 comprehension quizzes (printable + Google Forms) ✔ 10 literary essay prompts with rubric ✔ 5 quick-write prompts with rubric ✔ Digital Google Slides Student Journal ✔ Answer keys for all PDF quizzes This resource works well for whole-class novel studies, small groups, or independent work. I’ve used it to monitor understanding, prep students for standardized testing, and build their confidence in responding with evidence. Printable and digital versions are included, and answer keys are provided for every quiz in the PDF version.
