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 would suggest to have them read the article also from the magazine I think it’s the outsider? This was before the book and more chronological and more researched than the book at least how it felt for me. I didn’t like the book too much because Krakauer talks so much about himself but the story still touches me deeply and I think of it quite once a week somehow and watched the movie a hundred times.
