This is a remix of Andrea Yarbough's original Tic-Tac-Toe board, which was specific to Gaston Leroux's, The Phantom of the Opera. This format can be easily modified to fit any text and any instructional focus. 

This assessment is intended as an end-of-unit assessment. With this assessment, students have a wide-variety of response options, which allows them to pick the path that shows their strengths rather than their weaknesses. However, because they have to score a "win" and must go through the center, the teacher can still ensure that whatever path students select, they will have demonstrated mastery of the unit materials.

This particular tic-tac-toe board was designed to allow students to conduct analysis for the following skills: compare/contrast, cause-and-effect, rhetoric and persuasion, and analysis of literary elements such as allusion, character, setting, and theme. However, it can be easily adapted to meet any learning objectives.
