Grade 7 Quiz Analyzing Fiction and Historical Accounts – RL.7.9

The standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.9 encourages students to analyze how fiction and historical texts portray characters, settings, and events. Students compare and contrast these portrayals to understand how authors might use or modify historical facts for artistic purposes. This analysis helps students discern the differences between historical accounts and fictional works, understand authors’ choices, and recognize the ways fiction can illuminate historical realities or lead to reinterpretation.
