Through close examination of key excerpts from the novel, students identify and analyze both internal and external conflicts, including Yanek’s internal struggle between self-preservation and helping others, the physical violence he endures, and the environmental challenges posed by exhaustion, cold, and starvation. Guided discussion questions and structured analysis prompts help students classify each conflict type (person vs. person, self, society, and nature) and explain its impact on the story. This activity builds literary analysis skills while prompting thoughtful discussion about how conflict shapes Yanek’s choices, mindset, and resilience throughout the novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is included in a unit plan:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shop.prestoplans.com\/products\/prisoner-b-3087-unit-plan-alan-gratz-novel-study-reading-unit\"\u003ePrisoner B-3087 Unit Plan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eIncluded in the Prisoner B-3087 Conflict Analysis Activity:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e➡️ \u003cstrong\u003ePrisoner B-3087 Conflict Analysis Presentation Slides: \u003c\/strong\u003eUse this 11-slide PowerPoint presentation to introduce students to the different types of conflict, including internal conflict and several forms of external conflict (person vs. person, self, nature, and society).
