Knife of Never Letting Go By Patrick Ness Supplemental Novel Activities: Book one of the Chaos Walking trilogy, The Knife of Never Letting Go, by Patrick Ness, is an excellent novel for reluctant readers, especially boys. It ties in well with any dystopian, choices, or coming-of-age novel unit for whole class reading or indivdual choice reading.

These activities are aligned with the ELA Common Core State Standards for reading, writing, and language in grades 11-12 and 9-10. UPDATED with an additional 30 pages of materials!

One activity has students making connections between the novel (chapter 20, in particular) and Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" poem. It also poses a writing prompt at the conclusion of the novel. Other ELA activities include researching etymology of words and creative writing exercises.

In addition to the ELA activities, I've included the following
CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
Sociology - exploring stereotypes, ethnocentric behaviors,
Geography - mapping exercise,
History - compare/contrast with early settlers and Native Americans,
Science - characteristics of animals and their behavior,
Art - recreating your "Noise."

Separate teacher guide with answer key is included.

Also included is a one-page printable to hang in your classroom depicting the noise and questions to ponder as students read.

Hi Tracee,
I'm sorry to be a bother as I read you're already back to school (we start on Monday). Is this the completed unit for the novel (I wrote you back on 8/5 about it)? Does the new 30 pages include comp questions and tests? Thanks so much! I cannot tell you enough how much I loved using your HG's unit with my kiddos the past couple of years!!! Happy Start of the School Year!

Hi cloej01 - It is not the completed unit. It has many supplemental activities to enhance the comp. questions. I wanted to get that updated, then complete the rest of the unit, but it is taking me so much longer than I thought it would. (I am still typing answers in, but I have almost all of the questions done - a couple chapters I need to revise.) :( If you email me at hungergameslessons@gmail.com I can mail you what I have & then you can just purchase the unit when it's complete, that way you can at least get started with it. -Tracee

Thank you, Patsue11. I have them, but not listed yet. :( I just haven't typed in the answer keys. (I always hand-write my keys because it's faster for me when I'm teaching than to type them.) How soon do you need them? I made tests for each part (6), then a final exam. Knowing you're interested will give me motivation to complete them! :)
