    The

     Hunger  Games  
     

     
     
    “Let  the  Tic-­‐Tac-­‐Toe  
    Begin!”  
     
       
    The  Hunger  Games  
     
    Tic-­‐Tac-­‐Toe  
     
    Introduction:    This  activity  is  an  independent,  differentiated  
    project  for  students  to  complete  while  reading  The  Hunger  
    Games.    Before  beginning  The  Hunger  Games  class  novel,  give  
    each  student  a  Tic-­‐Tac-­‐Toe  board.    Discuss  each  of  the  options  
    listed  on  the  board.    Explain  to  students  that  they  will  be  
    reading  The  Hunger  Games  as  a  class  novel.    The  Tic-­‐Tac-­‐Toe  
    exercises  will  be  due  when  students  have  finished  reading  the  
    book.  
     
    Background  of  the  Novel:  The  Hunger  Games  is  a  popular  
    young  adult  novel  by  Suzanne  Collins.    Since  its  debut  in  2008,  
    students  have  been  entranced  with  the  story  of  16-­‐year-­‐old  
    Katniss  who  lives  in  the  12th  District  of  Panem.    Every  year,  one  
    boy  and  one  girl  (ages  12-­‐18)  from  each  district  are  selected  by  
    lottery  to  fight  in  The  Hunger  Games.    The  chance  to  represent  
    one’s  district  may  sound  glorious,  but  it  is  not—only  one  
    person  from  all  of  the  districts  is  supposed  to  survive.  
     
    Materials  Needed:    
    • Class  set  of  The  Hunger  Games  by  Suzanne  Collins  
    • Tic-­‐Tac-­‐Toe  board  (1  per  student)  
    • Drawing  paper  or  mini-­‐poster  boards  
    • 3X5  index  cards
