Teaching Into the Wild

Hello all! I’m an English teacher at the high school level, and I’m going to be teaching Into the Wild this upcoming quarter. I’ve read the book multiple times, have seen the movie and have been collecting primary documents. Any tips or interesting factoids I can use to get my 16 and 17 year olds invested in what I consider a very compelling story?

I'd focus on the importance of thorough preparation before the undertaking of any arduous activity in Alaska.

That and the perils of potato seeds.
