This resource can be used as supplemental teacher material or as a primary basis for literature study to:

• Draw students into a text with pre-reading questions and warm-up prompts, maintain engagement with in-class analysis through free-writing or discussion, and assess knowledge and comprehension with quizzes.
• Ensure deeper understanding and enjoyment of the literature with activities for all learning types.
• Stretch students’ critical thinking and writing skills with differentiated essay topics.
• Provide a structured framework in which to build analytical skills with optional character, theme and other worksheets.

Note to Teachers: To support lesson-planning, connections to the work’s primary themes are noted throughout this resource (The Fluidity of Identity; Morality, Survival, and Freedom; Absolute Power as a Corrupting Force; Patriotism and Pride).
