Overview

The Hunger Games has been creating quite a stir, with many KS3 teachers keen to take advantage of their students' enthusiasm for both novel and film to teach it as a class text. This photocopiable publication, with additional resources on CD, provides a range of activities to support pupils in exploring the novel as both a literary text and global media phenomenon - without taking away from the pleasure of the story. Includes simulations, role-plays and debates, comparisons with classical myth and quest narratives, fresh approaches to character and many activities that prepare students for KS4 textual study. It also provides a manageable route through the text using the film in constructive and imaginative ways.
