Below, there are nine options for activities. You will need to choose and complete three of them. Your three selections need to form a Tic-Tac-Toe design – horizontal line, vertical line or diagonal line (for example, you can do 1, 2 and 3 (horizontal line), or 1, 4, and 7(vertical line) or 1, 5 and 9 (diagonal line)). We will take the class time until the break to work on and finish this project.

My choices: ____________, ________________, and __________________

Starting Points:

1. Vocabulary – These are words that have occurred through the novels. You may need to use a dictionary (or ) to help you out.

2. Movie Poster – You’ll have to decide what is the best image to put on a movie poster to represent either The Hunger Games or Catching Fire. Be original but stay true to the novel. In addition, you should know enough about the characters to be able to visualize what they look like.

3. Drawing – Choose your favourite chapter and jot down at least eight main events and actions from that chapter to include in your work.

4. Board Game – a good way to start designing a game is to start at Chapter 11 and move to the end of the book. Make a list of all events and obstacles that are found in the arena and see how to include them in your game.

5. Novel Test – Testing your general knowledge of the book.

6. Travel Brochure – Begin by jotting down the benefits of living in the Capitol. The whole point of a travel brochure is to promote the positive aspects and ignore the negative ones. Persuade people to visit. Write down all the positive things about the capitol that you can remember (and use the book!)

7. Compare/Contrast – How does The Hunger Games compare to another movie? How are they the same and how are they different? Look past some of the on the surface ideas and see how the main characters, the plot and the conflicts in both are the same and how they are different.

8. Casting/Soundtrack – While there may have already been a movie, no movie is ever exactly what you want. Think about the characters, how they look and their ages and figure out who you would have cast. For the soundtrack, you’re showing off your knowledge of scenes in the book and music that would be appropriate.

9. Design a tribute – Pick a district (it doesn’t have to be district 12!) and figure out who the perfect tribute would be from that district. What skills would they have because they live in that district? What weapons would they be good with?
