Hunger Games chapter questions

Lists of similar questions are provided for every chapter. They could be handy to have in a file for reference but for each student to individually be answering them seems to me to be a waste of valuable creative time. To do the creative activities suggested, the answers to most of the questions need to be known and the students will seek them out when there is purpose. Some questions could be selected on a theme basis and posted with their answers on a Wall in Wallwisher or something similar.

This would probably allow more enjoyment of the task. The photo required could be a photo they have taken themselves and uploaded or it could be a photoshopped Muttation. This is an example of working within existing frameworks with the new media.

Further Reading brochure

There is a dedicated section of wall which holds an array of brochures based on themes and genres or aligned to assignments. Their purpose to encourage recreational reading seems to be successful. This one would appeal to those who enjoyed "The Hunger Games" Some entries may be for senior school only and these books would be identified with a gold dot on the spine.
