Class Review:

Into the Wild: Journeys to Self-Discovery. 

Introduction to Unit: Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild. A noble rebel, Chris McCandless is the kind of young adult many of you will be able to relate to. His journey raises questions about identity, knowledge, adventure, and risk-taking.

McCandless’ story serves as an entry point to a rich range of questions about person identity and nature. 

Essential questions that provided the impetus for the curricular unit are as follows:  

What is the relationship between nature and identity?

What does it mean to be a rebel?

What is the relationship between self and society? 

To what extent is community essential to happiness? 

In addition, Sean Penn’s film of this text adds additional appeal to the heroic notions of adventure, simplicity, and survival. The culminating activity includes a socratic selection of questions for completion (Teams). This will afford you, as students, the opportunity to explore your own discoveries about the questions posed while using evidence from the novel to back up your perspective.
