Description

Class Experience

"The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" takes us 64 years before Katniss volunteered as tribute. The districts are gearing up for the 10th annual Hunger Games. It's a year of changes and drama and Coriolanus is right in the middle of it. In this class, we'll discover what Snow is willing to do to make it to the top.

Each week, we'll discuss the reading and search for hidden meanings in the story. We'll be exploring the different characters, the changes in the games over time, and more. ...

I have a bachelor's degree in writing and journalism. I worked as a journalist for over five years and won several awards during my career. A large portion of my college years was spent studying creative and essay writing. I have self-published a few fiction books and I am currently working on another. Before changing my degree to writing, my study focus was on education.

Students will need a copy of the book, "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," by Suzanne Collins.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

This book contains several instances of violence that may not be appropriate for younger students.
