収穫の日の出読書クラブとディスカッションクラス

In this engaging teen book club, we will explore Sunrise on the Reaping, the latest installment in The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. Through weekly discussions, we will analyze key themes, character development, and the broader political and social commentary woven into the story.

Each class will focus on a specific section of the book, allowing students to dive deep into plot events, character motivations, and symbolic elements. We will cover themes such as power and control, propaganda, rebellion, moral dilemmas, and the impact of war.

The class is structured as a guided discussion, with opportunities for students to share their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in critical analysis. I will facilitate conversations using discussion prompts, short analytical activities, and occasional multimedia elements such as relevant video clips and slides to enhance understanding.

My teaching style is interactive and student-driven, encouraging thoughtful participation in a supportive and respectful environment. While there will be some structured guidance, students will have plenty of opportunities to express their interpretations, debate ideas, and connect the novel’s themes to real-world history and current events.

Students will engage in dynamic discussions, literary analysis, and optional creative activities such as writing prompts or character deep dives. This class is perfect for Hunger Games fans who enjoy analyzing literature, exploring dystopian themes, and discussing books with fellow readers.
