Students will need to have a physical, digital, or audio copy of the book The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes 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 are required 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.
