Description
Class Experience
"I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" - Katniss Everdeen. In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and once girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when...
Students will learn the following: The Hero’s Journey Character Analysis Identifying story elements Problem/Solution Tone, Mode, Setting, Point of View (book vs. movie) Cause and Effect Making Predictions Vocabulary Making Inferences Making Connections Symbolism

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
The Hunger Games is a book with many meanings and messages. Although this is a dystopian novel, the problems it reflects can be seen in our current society (i.e., desensitization to violence on tv, reality tv shows that blur the lines between real human suffering and being removed from the game, war, famine, haves vs. have-nots). The book has violent scenes where kids have to kill kids, but the scenes are not there to glamorize the violence. The violence is there to demonstrate the terrible world these kids inhabit. We may touch on the violence, but we are going to be looking past the violence and focus more on the personal morals and issues of the characters and the society where they live. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me. Everything we discuss will be at an age appropriate level.
