Overview

In this State Standards-aligned Literature Kit(TM), we divide the novel by chapters or sections and feature reading comprehension and vocabulary questions. In every section, we include Before You Read and After You Read questions. The Before You Read activities prepare students for reading by setting a purpose for reading. They stimulate background knowledge and experience, and guide students to make connections between what they know and what they will learn. The After You Read activities check students' comprehension and extend their learning. Students are asked to give thoughtful consideration of the text through creative and evaluative short-answer questions and journal prompts. Also included are writing tasks, graphic organizers, comprehension quiz, test prep, word search, and crossword to further develop students' critical thinking and writing skills, and analysis of the text. About the Novel: Divergent is a story about a dystopian society where members fall within a particular faction and one girl who falls among many. Beatrice Prior was born in the Abnegation faction. This faction believes in selflessness among everything else. But Beatrice never felt that she fit in. During testing, Beatrice discovers that she exhibits tendencies from three different factions: Abnegation, Erudite and Dauntless. This is unheard of and she is warned never to reveal that she is Divergent. At the choosing ceremony, Beatrice decides to become Dauntless, and changes her name to Tris. During the initiation process into this new faction, Tris learns more about herself and what it means to be Divergent, including the dangers that come with it. She soon discovers a plot hatched by the Erudite that threatens the very fabric of their peaceful society. Divergent is a tale of self-discovery, survival, and standing up for what you believe in.
