 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Welcome to the Hunger Games! Throughout this unit we will explore many themes that relate to human nature. Power, sacrifice, love, identity, and reality television will be a few of the many topics our conversations will cover. We will also take a look at how the author, Suzanne Collins, uses essential ideas in the novel and we will use technology tools such as Glogster and ComicLife to explore the ideas. As in all novels, literary elements play a significant role in //The Hunger Games//, and we will begin to understand these elements by first identifying them in the novel and then analyze their meaning and purpose. Your culminating task for this unit will be to produce a plan for a season of //Survivor// based on the novel itself. As you will see while reading the novel, there are many similarities to the actual Hunger Games and //Survivor//. You will be able to express your knowledge of the novel and its elements through the challenges you create for your season of //Survivor//. Expect to challenge yourselves in ways you have never done before. Good luck and, as Effie Trinket says, "May the odds ever be in your favor!"
