Today, in class the white boards around the room had a quote from The Hunger Games. Each quote dealt with a term. Before we started reading, the students had to figure out the term, and why it fit with the quote. Here they are, page numbers included.
Quote 1: "Besides, the Capitol accent is so affected, almost anything sounds funny in it." p.8
Quote 2: "'Mm, still warm,' O say. He must have been up at the crack of dawn to trade for it. 'What did it cost you?'
'Just a squirrel.'" p.7
Quote 3: "Since almost no one can afford doctors, apothecaries are our healers." p.8
Quote 4: "He could be my brother. Straight black hair, olive skin, we even have the same gray eyes." p.8
Quote 5: "It's to the Capitol's advantage to have us divided among ourselves." p.14
Bonus: Quote 6: (More than one term applies): "No one in the Seam would turn up their nose at a good leg of wild dog, but the Peacekeepers who come to the Hob can afford to be a little choosier." p.11
Students can get extra credit if they read and discuss the blog with an adult. If they've done this, have the students ask the adult if they can match any of the terms with the quotes. On a sheet of paper, either write how the adult answered, or tell me how they did. Did they get them all? Most of them? Did they miss any?
When you're done, have the adult sign the paper. Make sure your name, date, and hour are on the paper. Then turn it in tomorrow in the extra credit tray.
