Directions: This assessment has two parts. In Part I, you will answer questions about dialogue, word choice, tone, and theme in Chapter 6 of Maus I. In Part II, you will write a summary of the novel.

Part I: Selected Response and Short Constructed Response

On page 139, panel 10, in the sentence, “But remember—if you’re found there, I don’t know you!” Mrs. Kawka uses the passive voice. What effect does this have on the meaning of the information in the statement? (L.8.1b, L.8.3a)

Change the following sentence on page 156, panel 8, from active to passive voice to shift the emphasis to the object of the verb takes away. (L.8.1b, L.8.3a)

“Every week or so a truck takes some of the prisoners away.”

Part II: Summarize Maus I

Directions: Write a summary of the novel Maus I. Use your Whole-Book Literary Summary Writing Plan graphic organizer and the Criteria for an Effective Literary Summary anchor chart for support. Be sure your summary addresses the following criteria:

• Introduces the text stating the title, author, and chapter, section, or pages
• Briefly outlines what the text is about
• Clearly states the central idea(s)
• Includes key events and the most important details from the text to explain the central idea(s) and theme presented
• Includes a statement of theme (the point or message the author wants you to take away)
• Remains objective without opinions or judgments
• Wraps up with a concluding statement
• Is short, clear, and concise

A central idea is an important thing the author wants the reader to know and to remember when they have finished the text.
