This class aims to dissect the Hunger Games Trilogy. We will spend 20 minutes discussing each book. We will explore the characters motivations, lives and experiences, values and prospects. We will discuss the dystopian world were they live and political issues that are faced in the book. Relationships between characters will be reviewed as well as potential psychological issues hinted at and mentioned in the books. The last 10 minutes will allow for flexibility with time while discussing the books. The objectives of the lesson are to identify key parts of the story, analyze the content in depth and engage in a meaningful discussion of the content while discussing ethics. This is a highly discussion-driven class so students should have finished reading the books before attending class.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The class will discuss political issues from the book and compare them to current ones in the real world. This includes corruption, death, and injustice. We will also explore relationships between characters including those of romantic nature and abuse. Some information about psychological illnesses will also be included such as PTSD and depression. Parental discretion is adviced.
Supply List
I recommend the students bring their books so we can refer to them as needed. This is recommended, not required.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

My educational background is in psychology so I have knowledge of mental health topics. I am also very interested in politics and could provide historical information about autocratic governments across time. My approach of these sensitive topics will be informative in nature and age-appropriate. Reviews
