Appendix 6

Sample Quiz Questions for Othello, Macbeth, and The Taming of the Shrew

The questions selected for the acts need to be high-level thinking questions. They are used to confirm the students have read the assigned act and check for understanding. The questions do not need to be so broad as to cover the entire act. An important aspect from the act is sufficient. The students should be able to answer the question in the time provided – five minutes – if they have read the material.

Othello, Act 1:

Explain Brabantio's feelings about Othello. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Macbeth, Act 4:

Explain how the comments from the Witches help cause the murders in this act. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

The Taming of the Shrew, Act 2:

Explain Kate's reaction to Petruchio's announcement that she has agreed to marry him. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
