The student assignments are grouped into four sections and the assignments can be copied into a packet for students to complete independently.
In addition to several student assignments, there is a collection of 20 multiple choice comprehension questions and literature circle discussion questions that could also be used as essay questions.
Because this is the DELUXE version, it also includes 20 comprehension questions for the sequel novels: "The Scorch Trials,""The Death Cure" and NOW the "Kill Zone!" There are also literature circle discussion questions. No young adult who reads the first novel can stop without reading the second and third. Why not reward your students for doing their independent reading by making them take a quick quiz on the sequels?
FEEDBACK
But I think that it is a good unit, broken into four sections with activities that extend learning. It's really a great product for a teacher who is trying to support independent reading in a more mindful way. I've had some good responses to it but I definitely do take all criticism to heart.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Last year was my nineteenth year as a teacher-librarian... and it was almost my last!!!! Like many of my colleagues in education, my job was almost chopped due to state budget cuts. I was saved because my community chose to step up and help fund some of the more "expendable" positions like music teachers and librarians. Whoa... HUGE REALITY CHECK!!!! I'm so glad to be doing what I'm doing and my major goal is to continue helping my teachers create information rich lessons for their curriculum that also allow students an opportunity to think critically about information sources. Along the way, I keep on hoping that I'll make it easier to teachers to learn new technology without feeling overwhelmed by their workload. What I'm hoping to share via TPT are great lessons that help students think about the role of information in their lives and help them to enjoy great literature. And if I lose my job next year as a librarian, then at least I've sent out some strong lessons about information to the ether. And maybe eventually I'll be able to fund the wine budget?
