This is the test I use at the conclusion of the play 12 Angry Men. It does have multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and matching. In addition to the plot questions, there are questions covering relevant vocabulary(drama, act, defense, jury, etc). There also is a section on the original movie version of this play.

Students can use this worksheet to practice creating MLA citations. I use this before students research and write a research paper.

The questions on this guide cover the entire novel, Swallowing Stones.

I use the questions to help students keep track of all the information as we read the play together.

A final test on the drama, A Midsummer's Night's Dream. It has a combination of multiple choice, matching, short answer, true/false.

In this version, I use matching and short answer/fill in the blank. It tests the students on terms such as: protagonist, static character, flashback, narrator, dynamic character, point of view, etc. I use this with 10th grade, but think it's appropriate for other levels as well.

This gives a basic definition of each, provides examples, and then asks students to practice explaining the denotation and connotation of pairs of words.
