"Let the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin. Let them begin for real."
Just as you have been doing for your Reading Response Journals for your independent novels, write a reflection on The Hunger Games. Include ideas about the following topics:a. What do you think of the book and what's been happening so far? (it's been a few intense, emotional chapters!)
b. Write about 1 or 2 connections you can make to the book (text to text, text to self, text to world, text to media).
c. What predictions can you make about the story? What do you think is going to happen to Katniss and Peeta?
d. What are you thinking (so far) is the main idea of The Hunger Games?
e. What do you think are the most important skills that Katniss has for staying alive? Her knowledge of nature? Her skill with a bow and arrow? Her trapping ability? What qualities of her personality keep her going? Her capacity for love? Her intelligence? Her self-control?
f. Why do you think Peeta joins with the Career Tributes at the beginning of the Games? What does he hope to gain? Why do groups form in the beginning if they know only one will be able to survive?
h. What makes Katniss & Rue trust each other to become partners? What does Katniss gain from this friendship besides companionship? Is Katniss and Rue's partnership formed for different reasons then the other groups?
i. Any other comments you would like to make about the book so far OR any questions that you have about the book.
Happy Blogging!
