Sleepy Hollow EOG Practice for Grade 8 Reading
A set of EOG-style multiple-choice questions built around an adaptation of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, aimed at 8th graders preparing for the North Carolina reading assessment. It targets RL.8.2, RL.8.3, and RL.8.6 through a mix of DOK 2 and DOK 3 items, so students practice both supporting a theme or central idea and analyzing how character, setting, and point of view shape the story. Designed for a single practice session or review block, it works well for independent work with teacher debrief afterward.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as timed independent practice after students have read the adaptation, or as a warm-up that previews the testing format; allow roughly 40-50 minutes for reading and answering all ten items.
- Discussion question: How does the setting of Sleepy Hollow shape the way Ichabod Crane interprets what he sees, and what evidence from the first three paragraphs supports your answer?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students annotate each question's stem for the key verb (for example, "influence," "how does") and locate the matching paragraph before reading the answer choices.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a short paragraph explaining how Irving's narrator shapes reader sympathy for Ichabod, citing two specific passages and noting the effect of point of view.
- Estimated time: about 45 minutes for the full set, plus 10-15 minutes for a whole-class answer review focused on the DOK 3 items.
