In my diagnostic assessment tools I have focused on whether students are familiar with the elements of the story and the influence of those elements on understanding, exploring the moral of the story. The results of the diagnostic assessment tool 1will tell me whether students can do analysis of the story, while the 2^nd one will give me information whether students are familiar with the terms used while doing the analysis of the short story.
