Goal

Students will: analyze elements of a literary hero's journey, such as plot, setting, theme, and character as well as its figurative language; determine the central idea of a text, analyze the ideas and events presented, and cite textual evidence.  

 

What will be done with my students

Students will: read the text and reflect on each chapter by completing various graphic organizers and creative thinking projects; analyze characterization, the various methods through which the author reveals and develops the personalities of characters within the text; identify the characteristics of the typical literary hero and identify which characteristics are evidenced in the text; view pertinent clips from the 2012 film and and compare to text version; cite textual evidence while writing an informative essay comparing and contrasting the dystopian society in the novel with today's global climate. 

 

Benefits to my students

Students will sharpen critical thinking skills by reflecting on the following questions: how do humans endure in the face of adversity; how can some people endure unimaginable extremes while others break down? Students will also compare the hero's journey in The Hunger Games with the journey of Odysseus in The Odyssey, a companion unit from the Collections Text.
