1997 Arts Assessment Strategies ReportExercises Three to Five From The Stolen Moon Task

After eliciting short answers from the students about plot and character, assessment developers employed multiple-choice questions to further immerse students in basic elements of plot, character, and setting before asking students to make interpretive choices about staging a performance. (The responses in bold indicate the correct answers.)

Back to the story

Where does the scene take place?

In a treetop and in a cave
In a forest and in a cave
In a forest and on a lawn
On a lawn and in a cave

Bear hid the moon because

the shining of the moon kept Bear from sleeping at night
Raven and Fox liked the moon, and Bear didn't like the moon
the moon was very valuable, and Bear wanted it for himself
the moon kept Bear's cave warm at night

How do Raven and Fox get the moon back?

Bear feels sorry for them and gives it back
Raven and Fox make Bear give it back
Raven tricks Bear into falling asleep
Fox trades Bear honey for the moon
