The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

General Description: This plan, designed for students in grades 11-12, is intended to be part of a larger unit on Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Through exercises and discussion focused on significant decisions in the story, students will explore character development, motivation, irony, and conflict in the novel. With minor adjustments teachers can use the material either as an introduction to elements of good decision making, or as a review once students have explored the individual topics in greater depth.
