Mid Unit Assessment:

In the previous lesson, you did some thinking about Chapter 4: “My Mother Teaches Me Bullfighting.” On this assessment, you get a chance to show what you know about how to analyze this novel on your own. You may use your novel, your evidence flags, and any notes in your journals from our work together for this assessment.



1.     What is your general sense of happens in this chapter? Just write a one- to two-sentence gist statement: After a first read, what was your initial sense of what this chapter was mostly about?


2.     Part A. Reread pages 52–56 and think about the challenges Percy faces, and his response to those challenges in the form of choices he makes during this episode in the novel. Complete the T-Chart below, citing evidence from the text. Be sure to actually “quote” sections of the text in your response.

3.    Part B: What do Percy’s choices tell us about his strengths in this section? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.


4.  We all have strengths and weakness. Based on the choices Percy made on pages 52–56, do you have a good opinion of him? Why or why not? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.

5.     How do the events of this scene show how Percy has changed as a character from the beginning of the novel up to this point? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer. You may use your novel, your evidence flags, and any notes in your journals from our work together.


When you finish please check over your answers. Make sure you have answered each question as thoroughly as possible. Remember to write in complete sentences!!!
