The Hunger Games Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slide(PG13 - 2012)

The Hunger Games Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG13 - 2012) challenges students to deconstruct the concepts and analyze the decisions made by the characters in a film based on the 2008 dystopian novel by Suzanne Collins. Explore the relationship between Katniss and Peeta and determine if it was true love or just part of an act. Ask students to compare President Snow's control over Panem with a government students have studied in history.

General Tips for Using this Movie Guide:

1. Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student

5. Randomly choose a student to share their answer and defend it if necessary.
6. If time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie again for additional analysis.

8. On average, this movie guide will require about 45-60 minutes in addition to the length of the movie.

Digital Version Tips

• It is intended for a paperless, 1:1 tablet/iPad classroom
• Ask students to download a PDF editor app if they don't already have one. It needs to have a save function as well. I used Foxit PDF.
• Host the file. I used google drive to share a folder with students.
• When complete, ask students to save the file in a designated google drive folder using a naming convention. (I use LastnameFirstnameMovieGuide.pdf)
