I’m thinking of something similar to those quizzes in Seventeen and Cosmo that determine what kind of friend or employee you are. Before this ceremony, you could create an “aptitude test” for students to take to help determine their faction. Fans of books like The Giver and the Hunger Games, Matched, and Initiation series will love this one.ĭuring reading, students could participate in a choosing ceremony (minus the ritual of cutting one’s hand with a knife) and write about why they chose the faction that they did. There is some harsh violence, but it is PG romance-wise and no concerning language. Making it through her training to become Dauntless is just the first of many challenges she will face.Ĭlassroom application: I would recommend this book for seventh grade and up. Beatrice doesn't quite fit in with any of the factions, but when she switches factions from Abnegation to Dauntless, she begins to discover that not everything is what it seems. Why I liked it: I recently picked up a copy of Divergent for my classroom library and was completely drawn into the dystopian society composed up of five factions: Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
