Friday November 30/12

1) Your chapter 11-13 questions are due today.

2) We’re going to start by brainstorming all the different challenges to survival that Katniss faces in The Hunger Games.

3) Then we’ll think of sources of stress that high school students encounter.

4) Then we will think about different resources and tools that can help students “survive” that stress.

5) You will then think about 5-10 objects that you could put in a survival backpack. The items must actually fit in the backpack. Some of them may be more symbolic in nature rather than practical.

6) Next week we will “auction” the backpacks so you need to be prepared to make a strong case for why your backpack is the best.
