1-2 horas por semana. Students will read approximately four to five chapters a week on their own time. Each lesson, students will have access to the new video and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. Each week, I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses in the classroom. There are also vocabulary words and a weekly trivia quiz to test their comprehension from the weekly chapters.Evaluación
The more questions, comments, and posts that students share in the classroom, the more I can understand their knowledge and comprehension of the topics we are discussing.Calificación

Students will read approximately four to five chapters a lesson on their own time. Each lesson, a new video will discuss the pages that the students have previously read. This class does not meet live. The prerecorded sessions will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next. Students will have access to a video that covers the important elements of the week's reading and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. The worksheets will also address/remind the students of some of the important topics from each chapter. Each lesson, I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses. I also ask students to submit any vocabulary words the students didn't recognize or passages the students did not understand. The more questions the students ask, the more "discussion" we can have in the classroom after each chapter. Lesson breakdown: Students will receive a worksheet and discussion questions for each weekly video. There is one weekly writing assignment to complete after the weekly readings. I will post vocabulary words for the students to use in a sentence that showcases their understanding of the definition. Saturday: I post a link to an optional Hunger Games themed Kahoot! trivia quiz to further immerse students in this world.

Orientación para padres
According to commonsensemedia.org: Parents need to know that this is the final book in the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy. Like the previous books, there's plenty of bloodshed and psychological warfare in play; many sympathetic characters die, some are tortured to insanity, and, in one nightmare scene, main characters are hunted by giant reptillian creatures in the sewers as they hiss "Katniss, Katniss." But teen readers are sophisticated enough to understand that this is science fiction, not real life. And the book offers lots of food for thought on what it means to become a symbol to oppressed people, how war propaganda can sway people, what people will endure to be free of oppression, whether it's right or not to use the same dirty tactics as the enemy to win a war, and how hope and some peace can still be found after seeing the inhumanity of war.
Requisitos previos
The student should have read the first and second books in the trilogy, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (although taking that class with me is not a requirement).
Lista de útiles escolares
The students will need a copy of Mockingjay to read on their own. It can be borrowed from the library or even listened to as an audio book. The students will not need a physical copy of the story in class, although they may find it helpful to have while filling out their worksheets or working on their writing assignment.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Spalding University
I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults. I was a substitute teacher for three years before teaching on Outschool for multiple years. I currently teach English Composition at a local nursing college. I have had the good fortune of talking about The Hunger Games series (books and movies) in the classroom many times! It is also one of the first book series that my reluctant reader son read on his own with limited prompting from me. Because of that, this series will always have a special place in my heart! I want to share that love and passion for Katniss to all readers. Her world is such an immersive world that, unfortunately, has many similarities to our own. This book particularly leads to good discussion about rule following, bravery, friendship, loyalty, love and betrayal. It also gives great insight into political leaders and the impact their political systems have on the people under their control.
