"The Most Dangerous Game" Study Guide Packet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The comprehensive study guide packet for Richard Connell’s "The Most Dangerous Game" challenges young readers to reflect on hunting as a sport and what it means to be civilized. Using various graphic organizers, including a Cornell Notes dialectical journal and a Venn diagram, class members carefully analyze the actions of Rainsford and Zaroff. In addition, they examine the details in selected passages and analyze how these details create suspense. A great addition to your curriculum library.
