How is it unfair? • How many Reaping entries will Katniss have in her 16th year? • What are the Hunger Games?

Do you think they might be more than "just friends"?

  7. Do Now Please answer the following question (2-3 sentences is sufficient) on the Post-It provided: In your own opinion, what was the most upsetting/sad part of chapter 3 and why? There is no right or wrong answer, but you will have had to have read to know what actually happened!

  8. The Hunger Games: Chapter 2-3 • (Ch. 2) Why does Katniss save Prim from the Reaping? • (Ch. 2) Describe Kat's only previous encounter with Peeta Mellark.

What is her strategy? • (Ch. 5) How are the people of the Capital different from those who live in the districts? Describe their physical, economic, and social differences. This response should be at least 4-5 sentences in length. • (Ch. 5) What is surprising about Cinna, Kat’s stylist? • (Ch. 5) How does the crowd respond to Kat and Peeta during their entrance? What makes them so special?

  11. The Hunger Games: Chapter 6 • What is an Avox? • Why do Katniss and Peeta decide to talk on the roof? • From where does Katniss recognize the girl with red hair? • What new guilt does Katniss express at the end of chapter 6?

  12. The Hunger Games: Chapter 7 • Haymitch makes two demands of Katniss and Peeta. What are the two demands? What do you think the overall strategy is? • Why is it considered “rebellious” for Peeta and Katniss to appear as a team? What are their feelings on this portrayal? • What was Peeta’s special job in the bakery? How can that be considered a survival skill? How does it affect your perception of him? • How does Katniss make a unique impression on the Gamemakers? Explain her actions and they will change the way the Gamemakers and sponsors view her.

  13. Do Now, 4/29 In your binder, respond to the following question (not being collected): Are gender roles an inherent quality (you are born with it) or are they socially constructed (society creates them)? Defend your response.

  14. Gender Stereotypes Gender: - Refers to one’s anatomical sexuality - Refers to the social attributes and opportunities associated with being male and female (Ex. Only boys can attend all-boys schools) - Gender attributes and opportunities are socially constructed and are learned through socialization processes (Ex. As a child, you don’t realize that boys and girls are different until someone tells you)

  15. Gender Stereotypes Gender Stereotypes: - Socially created stereotypes about people based on their gender (Ex. Girls are the weaker sex) - Are based on a limited number of characteristics (Ex. Girls are smaller so they must be physically weaker) - Create an impression that everyone in the group has the same characteristics (Ex. All girls like pink) - Create expectations of what males and females should look like and how they should think, feel, and act (Ex. Boys should not discuss feelings)

  16. Gender Stereotypes Gender Equality: - Means that males and females have equal opportunities for realizing their full human rights (economically, socially, culturally and politically) - Gender equality is the equal valuing by society of the similarities and the differences of each other (Ex. Your self worth is not determined by your gender)

  17. Why do the Gamemakers chase tributes out of their hiding spots? How does Katniss injure herself? Was it preventable? Why or why not? What are trackerjackers (paraphrase)? Why are they appropriately named? Why do you suspect that the cost of the medicine is more expensive than the cost of water (paid for by the sponsors)? What does Katniss realize she needs from Glimmer? What will happen if she doesn’t go get it right now? The Hunger Games: Chapters 13-14

  18. Journal Prompts, 5/28 What do you make of the book’s cover art?  How representative is it?  If not this cover, what would you have used? For a book focused on the Hunger Games, there is a huge emphasis on food in this story.  Which meals (plural; more than one) most intrigued/horrified you? The names of characters and other things are often “mutations” themselves, morphed from words in our own time.  Which of these (more than one) were the most interesting to you?  What else did you notice about the names?
