      About This Lesson

      The Wilds, a new series on Amazon Prime Video, explores the lives of eight high-school students from different backgrounds who are stranded on a deserted island and face a test of survival that becomes a transformative test of character. These language arts activities draw on the series to explore character development in narrative, with writing and discussion prompts that will spark critical thinking about societal pressures, personal development, and making choices.
