Project Description
Every year before the Hunger Games’ reaping, a video is shown to the Districts, providing
the pointed reminder of why the Hunger Games exist. “I just love that,” says Effie Trinket,
drawn in by the sentiment of Capitol propaganda. Living in the Capitol as she does, her
perspective doesn’t show her anything but the strong and just system she trusts. Without the
understanding that she is being manipulated, she is drawn in by the propaganda. What is
propaganda, and how can students learn to identify it as Effie can’t? Propaganda videos are
used by both the Capitol and the rebel forces in the fight for Panem. Is propaganda inherently
bad? Propaganda can address current events, so what makes propaganda different from news
and other media? What’s the role of the viewer of that media?
In this project, students will take on the role of filmmaker and create a propaganda video
that tackles a specific subject. They will look at what propaganda is (and is not), how to put
together a persuasive argument, and how to communicate that argument with film.
**NOTE** Visiting The Hunger Games: The Exhibition could happen either prior to, or at the
conclusion of, the project.
By the end of the project, students will know:
• The elements of propaganda.
• Historical origins and evolution of propaganda.
• Media today – Propaganda, news, and the YouTube era.
• How to compose a persuasive narrative.
• How to act as filmmakers in certain roles: Actor, Director, Set Designer / Location Scout,
Costume / Prop Designer, Editor.

REACH OUT
Send a letter to parents letting them know you’ll be studying The Hunger Games, doing a project
related to the book or film, and visiting The Hunger Games: The Exhibition. Be sure to highlight
the depth of the project by sharing learning goals and skills students will learn.
You can also garner parent support to put together a final exhibition of student work. An exhibition
can be anything that showcases or communicates student work to an audience. This includes
things such as: an online gallery of student videos, a presentation to professionals in fields that
relate to your project, etc. A great exhibition should celebrate student work and involve an
authentic audience to view it.

IV. Project Kickoff
ENTRY EVENT
Entry events can be presented in any medium.
Example entry events are a class discussion, an
intro video, a guest speaker, a field trip to The
Hunger Games: The Exhibition, or an activity. The
best entry events tend to be personalized or
experiential. Connecting to students this way
allows them to enter the content through
something familiar versus starting by explaining all
the things they don’t know yet.
PBL TIP
Entry Events are
used at the
beginning of projects
to get students
excited about the
upcoming project.
!
!
!
ENTRY ACTIVITY:
PERSUASIVE
IMPROV
Time Duration
To give students a chance to think about different
methods of persuasion, and have a little fun while
doing it (Resource: Every Art, Every Child
website).
Half class period – whole class period
Materials Needed
A chair, a classroom object (eraser, marker, etc)
Purpose
!
OVERVIEW: This activity draws on the theatrical art of improvisation (improv). Two students
perform together with one actor trying to persuade the other actor to do something.
ACTIVITY:
Step One: Ask for two students to volunteer to perform. One sits in a chair and one stands.
Step Two: The two students are at a bus stop (the setting) and the one standing is trying to
get the one seated to give up his or her seat. He or she must use different tactics to try and
persuade the seated person to move. For example, “May I please have that seat? My legs
hurt.” He or she isn’t allowed to move the seated student by physical force or by bribe.
Step Three: Begin the scene. If needed, coach the standing student on different tactics of
persuasion (begging, asking politely, threatening, flattering, etc). Coach the seated student to
not give up his or her seat unless he or she feels honestly convinced by the other student. He
or she should be giving valid creative reasons to remain seated as well. You can also phrase
it as, “What’s happening in your character’s life that he or she needs to sit down?”
Step Four: When the student finally convinces the other to stand (or the seated student
comes up with such a good argument that the standing person gives up), ask for new
volunteers.
ADDITIONAL: Once the class gets the hang of the game, you can ask the rest of the class
for suggestions on setting and objective and switch up the action in the scene. The improv

works as long as there is a setting and something one person is trying to persuade the other
to do. You can also add a The Hunger Games twist to the scenes if you’d like. Below is a list
of suggested scenarios:
Settings
Objectives
The Hob
Convincing Greasy Sae to buy dead wild dog.
The Reaping
Convincing a Peacekeeper not to make the tributes get on the train.
A Home in the Capitol
Convincing a Capitol citizen to turn off the Hunger Games.
The Woods
Gale convincing Katniss to run away before the reaping.
The Training Area
Convincing another tribute to be your ally in the Hunger Games.
!
Have students begin reading The Hunger Games – Part I “The Tributes”
by Suzanne Collins or watching that section of The Hunger Games film
(up to Peeta’s interview with Caesar). You could have students’ split the
reading or watching time between homework and class depending on
your preference. It is suggested that students read / watch in class or at
home and utilize one class period a week for in class discussion.
READING /
WATCHING
THE HUNGER
GAMES
The timeframe for the audiobook averages about 25 minutes per
chapter.
A companion discussion activity for The Hunger Games – Part I “The
Tributes” follows.

" # $ % !&!)!
Discussion Activity One: World Cafe
To be done at the end of reading Part I “The Tributes”
!
Purpose
Time Duration
Materials Needed
To get students discussing key points of The Hunger Games.
Depends on how many stations you have. Each group (of approximately 4
to 6 students) should average about 5-7 minutes per station.
[Approximately 45 minutes]
A giant piece of paper, poster board, or something else for students to
write on.
!
ACTIVITY SETUP:
PAPER: Cut large rectangles of paper and cover a group of 4-6
desks with it. Make sure each piece of paper is large enough so
every student can reach it easily.
MARKERS: Put out markers for each station. [Note: It could be
interesting to have each group carry its own color to distinguish the
progression of the discussion].
QUESTION SETUP: Write a “Speech Cloud” in the middle of the
paper with one of the following questions about The Hunger
Games - Part I “The Tributes.”
,!
QUESTIONS:
1.) How does Katniss feel about the country of Panem before the reaping, and why does she need
to be careful about how she speaks about Panem in public? Write down specific examples of how
you know this.
2.) Describe Katniss’s relationship with Gale, with Prim, and with her mother. How do these
relationships define her personality?
3.) Why does she say about Peeta, “I feel like I owe him something, and I hate owing people”?
How does her early encounter with Peeta affect their relationship after they’re chosen as tributes
(but before the Games)?
4.) Why are tributes given stylists and dressed so elaborately in the opening ceremony and
interviews? Does this ceremony remind you of events in our world, either past or present?
5.) When Peeta declares his love for Katniss in the interview, does he really mean it or did
Haymitch create the “star-crossed lovers” story to help them get sponsors? What are the sponsors
looking for when they watch the Games?
ACTIVITY:
Put students into groups of 4 to 6 and assign them to a starting station. Then tell them each person
should write at least one idea per topic / station and no more than three per person per station.
Also, tell them to try not to repeat ideas that are already on the page. If they agree with a point
made, they can put a check mark next to it. Let them know that they can draw images to represent
ideas as well as use words. Remind them that the entire class will be contributing and to leave
room for others to write.
Project a timer, or just keep time yourself and let them know when to rotate (EVERY 5 to 7
MINUTES). When all groups are done and have visited every station, have each group share with
the class the ideas on the station it started at.

V. Elements of Propaganda
!
Purpose
To help identify elements of propaganda in advertisements and distinguish
them from argument or persuasion.
Time Duration
One class period
Materials Needed
Printed handouts (found on pages 15-16), Propaganda Cards (found on
pages 17-24), something to write with, a way to project video.
OVERVIEW: In Panem, the Capitol uses propaganda to assure the districts that everything is as it
should be and Panem should remain the same. Meanwhile, the rebels use propaganda to encourage
people to fight back. Are both things really propaganda? In this activity, students will be in groups
based on a propaganda technique. They will watch videos and look for their propaganda technique. At
the end of each video, you will ask the students to share what their element was, and all students
should make note of it on their graphic organizers. There are many key techniques used in propaganda.
For this project, you’ll be looking at EIGHT of them:
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Name calling – where an attack is made by calling the opposition names.
Glittering generalities – using values (love of family, pride of country, etc) to motivate action.
Testimonial – using an “authority” to recommend or endorse something.
Bandwagon – the ‘everyone is doing it, you should too’ approach.
Transfer – attaching something unrelated to the argument to distract from the real issue.
Plain Folks – showing ordinary people benefitting from the idea/product/etc.
Fear – scaring someone into supporting the position or product.
Faulty Logic – this could be a long list but includes things such as misrepresenting data,
making untrue comparisons, assuming a positive outcome without evidence, etc.
*SUGGESTION* When working on a project where students’ definition and understanding of a
concept are evolving, it is often helpful to get a large piece of butcher paper (or find a place in
the classroom) and to write the initial definition of the term. Then, allow students to add to it in
order to show the progression of understanding over time. As you have class discussions,
make note of when a student brings up a point that is counter to the posted definition, and
move on. At the end of the project, you can discuss the definition you started with and how it
changed as you went through the project.
ACTIVITY:
Step One: Put students into groups – there should be eight groups total, one for each technique
of propaganda. [You can also have students work in pairs. Just make sure that you have
students covering all the techniques and that each group has a definition card.]
Step Two: Provide each group with a graphic organizer (found on pages 15-16) and a
Propaganda Card (found on pages 17-24). Explain that you will be watching videos and
students should identify the type of propaganda described on their card. Have them look over
their card and read the definition. Ask if any group needs clarification on what they’re looking for.
You don’t have to go over each definition for the whole class – they’ll sort that out and refine
their understanding through the course of watching the videos.

Step Three: Do a class example using President Snow’s address to Panem “Together As
One.” Show them the video, ask what techniques they saw, and then show specific parts of the
video as evidence of each technique so they can see what each looks like.
Video
President Snow “Together as One”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dCB2U9lX48
Propaganda techniques
Glittering Generalities: “Our great nation… the districts are the
body, the Capitol the beating heart.” These draw on values
related to duty to country and connects this cause to protecting
the body / heart.
Testimonial: Peeta is a celebrity.
Plain Folks: “With all of us, together as one.” Snow reduces
himself to ‘one of the people’ to play on solidarity.
Faulty Logic: “Known only peace… elegant system conceived
to nourish and protect… If you fight against it you starve
yourself.” Lots of people in the district are starved and abused by
the Capitol Peacekeepers.
Step Four: Now, students should dissect real commercials. Show them the videos listed on the
following page (use as many as time permits, but include the last two PSAs). After each video,
allow students to discuss the following questions with their group.
! Is the ad propaganda? If no, why?
! Was your technique used in the video? If yes, provide evidence of where?
Step Five: After the small group discussion, ask students who believe their technique was used
to raise their hand and share with the class where in the video it was used. Then have them
define their technique.
Step Six: Clarify with the class what the definition of the technique is and have them write it
down on their graphic organizers (found on pages 15-16).

Propaganda techniques
Name Calling: Mac is suggesting PCs freeze and, despite
having the same “stuff,” don’t run as well.
Faulty Logic: Mac doesn’t mention any of its shortcomings or
technical glitches.
Glittering Generalities: This is the main technique used in the
use of family and friends at a BBQ. It’s the “ideal” representation
of American life.
Plain Folk: There are traces of this because they are packaging
George Bush Sr. as one of the common average citizens instead
of a politician. In fact, he had been involved in politics since the
1960s.
Transfer: This one might be a little difficult, but this is an
example of Transfer because the dancing Shetland pony has
nothing to do with the product or why people should buy it. It was
used to get attention and “shares” in order to promote the
product beyond the brand.
Testimonial: Features celebrity Michael Jackson.
Bandwagon: The Pepsi “generation” implies that everyone in
that group drinks Pepsi, and they look cool while doing it.
Fear: Reminding people of the worst possible security scenario
and why they “need” Broadview.
Plain Folks: There’s a little bit of “plain folks” technique in this
one because all the scenarios are common. Lots of people go to
or host house parties.
Is this one propaganda? Yes. It has a positive message but uses
the voice celebrities to push its agenda without presenting any
information.
Testimonial – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were extremely
popular among the target demographic.
Is this one propaganda? Not really. It could be argued that it
uses emotional appeal (as opposed to facts) to convince the
audience to change a behavior. However, emotional appeal isn’t
the same as falsifying evidence or manipulating for a specific
gain. This would be classified as PERSUASION.

!
DIRECTIONS: As you watch commercials, use this sheet to record definitions of various propaganda
techniques.
Definition of Propaganda
Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a
particular political cause or point of view.
Technique Name
Name Calling
Technique Definition
Attacking the opposition itself instead of attacking its products or
ideas.
Glittering
Generalities
Appealing to cultural bias, morals, or higher values. These include
such things as: Family, duty to country, dreams, religion, etc.
Testimonial
Using someone famous or an authority figure to say that you should
use a product / support an idea because he or she supports the idea
or product.
Bandwagon
Making it seem like everyone uses the product or believes an idea.
That your life would instantly be better “like we’re showing you here”
by using a product or thinking a certain way.
Transfer
Using unrelated symbols/people to support something. This includes
using something that has nothing to do with what is being
sold/presented to help sell an idea or product. If you’re left saying,
“What was that commercial about?” it probably used transfer.
Plain Folks
Showing the “common person” enjoying the benefits of an idea,
product, or service. It’s so familiar, it could be you!
Fear
Making the viewer afraid of NOT supporting a product, service, or
idea by showing them how scary the outcome could be.
Faulty Logic
This can apply to a lot of propaganda, but this would specifically
mean anything blatantly untrue like misleading data, false cause and
effect statements, etc.
What is the difference between PERSUASION and PROPAGANDA?
The line between these two things is difficult to distinguish, but propaganda mostly focuses
on misinforming or misleading a viewer. There could be seeds of truth in what it says, but
the overall goal is convincing someone at all costs, rather than truth.
Persuasion is a step down from propaganda. Lots of PSAs and some ads use persuasion to
try and convince people to believe something or use their products, but there is no
misinformation or misleading messages involved.

GLITTERING GENERALITIES
Definition
Explanation
These are emotionally appealing phrases so closely associated with highly
valued concepts and beliefs that they carry conviction without supporting
information or reason. They appeal to emotions like love of country and home,
and desire for peace, freedom, glory, and honor. They ask for approval without
examination of the reason.

Any time people mention anything having to do with an “American Value” or
some understood idea of how things “should” be, it’s probably a glittering

benefiting from a service or idea.
Explanation
If you find yourself watching something and thinking that it reminds you of
yourself, there’s probably an element of this technique.
Example
Description
of Example
!
This is a propaganda poster made by Lionsgate to advertise the release of The
Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. It is drawn as if the Capitol was running a
propaganda campaign depicting citizens of different districts and thanking them
for their support.

Explanation
Scaring your audience into thinking it needs your service, product, or idea to stay
safe.
Implying a sense of insecurity makes people react and feel unprotected.
Example
Description
of Example
This World War II poster stokes fear by pinning the toll of war on ‘someone’ who
talked, implying that any person, military or civilian, could cause a disastrous
attack by mentioning troop movements, military plans, or anything else pertaining
to the war that could be intercepted by the enemy.

FAULTY LOGIC
Definition
Explanation
Using incorrect statistics or arguments that don’t relate to each other to make a
point.
These are usually more intentional lies than emotionally misleading.
Example
Description
of Example
This ad for toothpaste claims it has the support of 9 out of 10 dentists, but lots of
different toothpastes claim that, and they don’t give any information on how many
people they surveyed. It’s arbitrary data.

What is the History of Propaganda?
!
!
Purpose
Have students learn more about propaganda of the past.
Time Duration
Can be done for homework or during one class period.
Materials Needed
Printed articles, paper, pen/pencil, way to project video.
OVERVIEW: Students will be looking at propaganda of the past and also practicing their reading
comprehension skills. Have students read an article on the history of propaganda and complete a
“QCQ” (Quote, Comment, Question, found on page 26) on it. Any article can be used based on
reading level and the needs of the students. A good intro article is “A Brief History of Propaganda” by
Tavistock Books, which can be found at http://blog.tavbooks.com/?p=755
ASSIGNMENT:
Step One: Hand students the article and provide them with a QCQ graphic organizer, found on
page 26.
Step Two: Explain that when using a QCQ, you read the article and find a quote that jumps out
at you. Copy the quote in the quote box and then, in the comment box, write your interpretation
of the quote. Finally, ask a question that is related to the quote and comment written previously.
This should be done with THREE separate quotes.
For Example –
Quote
“I don’t want them to change
me in there. Turn me into
some kind of monster that I’m
not.”
– Peeta Mellark in The
Hunger Games by Suzanne
Collins
Comment
Question
This quote shows Peeta’s
integrity of character. Even
though he isn’t the hero in the
spotlight like Katniss, this
quote proves that he can see
the bigger picture and what’s
worth fighting for – sometimes
even more clearly than
Katniss can.
Since we don’t always get to
see Peeta throughout the
course of the Games, was
there was a moment when he
had to fight becoming that
monster he feared?
Step Three: After the article, you can supplement the reading with the following optional videos:
! The Power of Nazi Propaganda – ReasonTV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af44Slin7lg
! Frank Capra’s “Why We Fight” World War II Propaganda Series – Tu Ne Cede Malis

History of Propaganda QCQ Graphic Organizer
DIRECTIONS: As you read through the article, pick out three quotes that are relevant to the history of
propaganda. For each one of the quotes, write your thoughts on the quote in the ‘comment’ section. Finally,
write at least one question for each quote you chose. Within a single row of quote, comment, question, the
three boxes should relate to each other. Each row can be independent of the other two: that is, your three
prompting quotes do not need to build on a single idea.

VI. Media Today – Propaganda, News, and the
YouTube Generation
Purpose
To help students understand the similarities between media
sensationalism and propaganda.
Time Duration
30 minutes to full class period
Materials Needed
Printed article, class set of graphic organizers (found on page 28),
something to write with.
!
OVERVIEW: Students will find a current event the night before and print it out for the activity in class.
They will watch a brief video highlighting sensational news stories and debrief if they saw any of the
previously studied propaganda techniques. Then they will review their article, identify any
propaganda techniques used, and rewrite the title to show a different bias.
ACTIVITY:
Step One: THE NIGHT BEFORE – ask students to go home and print an article online that they
think is “over the top” or might be using a propaganda technique. They don’t need to do any
formal analysis or critique: just print it and read it.
Step Two: In class, show students the following videos –
! Bias Bash: Media guilty of “sensationalizing” elections
(http://www.frequency.com/video/bias-bash-media-guilty-of/35365974) – This clip
talks about media sensationalism to gather viewers. This is an interesting video
because it is a fairly honest conversation about WHY the media uses sensational
stories.
! “Sensationalism Montage” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXc5fn6b9RI) This is a montage of news clips from the documentary MissRepresentation and other
sources that have been assembled to help show media sensationalism. It is worth
noting that not all news is that extreme all the time, but it does employ similar
techniques on a smaller scale. Smaller portions of this video can be shown and still
work for this activity.
Step Three: Have students re-read their articles and fill out the graphic organizer found on page
28, identifying instances of propaganda and bias in their articles.
Step Four: Finally, help students rewrite their headlines to represent an alternative bias or no
bias at all. This will help highlight how easy it is to manipulate the title of an article to gather
more attention. Here are some real headline examples you can use to model the process:
! Obama, Kerry absent from Unity Rally in Paris (Bradner, 2015) VS. Top US Officials
Supporting Paris: How They Can While Not Canceling Obligations With Other Countries
! What Does Haiti Have to Show for $13 Billion in Earthquake Aid? (Tracy Connor, 2015)
VS. Haiti Better off 5 Years After Quake, Though Still Troubled (McFadden, 2015)
! Terrorism Wins Again (O'Reilly, 2015) VS. Extremist Killers Stopped by Paris Police
Force
! George Zimmerman ‘Hasn’t Been Very Lucky with the Ladies’ Says Lawyer (Hongo,
2015) VS. George Zimmerman Arrested on Suspected Domestic Violence (Greg
Botelho, 2015)

News, Sensationalism, and Propaganda Graphic
Organizer
DIRECTIONS: Use your article to answer the questions below.
KEY
Words
Sensationalism – The use of shocking stories or language (at the
expense of accuracy) in order to provoke public interest or excitement.
Media Bias- to be in favor or against something.
An example of a biased headline: US Cuts Plea Deal with Pirate Who Killed 4 Americans
Same Headline – without bias: Yemeni Man Opts Not to Take Piracy Plea Deal
What is the title of your article?
Is there any sensationalism or bias suggested in the title of your article? What is it?
Rewrite your title below with an OPPOSITE view point or WITHOUT bias
Look in your article and find which techniques are used to tell the story (common ones in
NEWS are: fear, name-calling, faulty logic, and glittering generalities) and write the quote
and technique below.
For example:
"We cannot possibly keep track of them all, and we are seriously
FEAR
outnumbered," he said. Two other former French terrorist officials agreed.

The Responsibility of the Viewer –
Calculating Your Media Footprint
!
Purpose
To help students understand their role in directing and encouraging
ethical media practices.
Time Duration
One full class period split across 2 class meetings, plus homework
time
Materials Needed
Computers/internet access, DVD player and television, graphic
organizer found on page 30.
OVERVIEW: This lesson is meant to highlight how students’ habits drive content. In the clip “Bias
Bash” from the previous lesson, the anchor explains that you can’t blame the news for reporting the
way they do because that’s what gets the attention. How, then, do consumer behaviors drive the
sensationalized media? Please note: students should not access social media during class time.
Have them complete the Media Footprint Calculator, found on page 30, as homework.
SETUP: Cue up the DVD of The Hunger Games to the first conversation between Gale and Katniss
in the woods that starts with Gale saying, “What if they did, what if everyone just stopped watching?”
and ends with Katniss saying, “I’m not laughing at you!”
ACTIVITY:
Step One: Play the clip from The Hunger Games for the students, and pose the question, “If all
the citizens in the Capitol stopped watching the Hunger Games, would the Games still exist?”
Step Two: Tell students that think it WOULD stop the Hunger Games to go to the left side of the
room, and those that DON’T believe it would stop the Hunger Games to go to the right side of
the room. Then prompt students to make a case for why students should change their opinion
and move to the opposite side.
Step Three: Have them return to their seats. Point out that regardless of whether the Hunger
Games would stop or not, the excitement of the Capitol citizens makes the Games even more
immoral. They sensationalize the deaths of citizens for the entertainment of the rich. This being
true, there is a certain responsibility on the part of the viewers for what they are encouraging by
watching.
Step Four: Hand out the Media Footprint Calculator to each student and explain that they are
going to examine their own media usage. Since they have been studying advertising, bring up
that there is a new avenue for marketing and it depends on what you “like” on Facebook. There
is a video explaining this titled “Facebook Marketing Explained in 3 Minutes” by Just Social.
There’s also information on the impact of social media in the video “Social Media Revolution”
by Matt Feast. Watch the videos in class and have students complete the handout at home.
Step Five: Have them calculate their impact and share their findings with a partner. (Next class
period)

WATCHING
Continue reading The Hunger Games – Part II “The Games” by Suzanne
Collins or watching that section of The Hunger Games film (up to Katniss
beginning to search for Peeta in the arena). You could split the reading or
watching time between homework and class depending on your preference.
It is suggested that students read or watch in class / at home and utilize one
class period a week for in class discussion.

Discussion Activity Two: Tag Team Seminar
!
Purpose
To get students discussing key points of The Hunger Games.
Time Duration
30 – 45 minutes depending on how many questions.
Materials Needed
Chairs, timer, a bell or noise making device if you have one (optional)
ACTIVITY SETUP:
1.) Divide chairs for class in half – setup two circles of chairs (so that one chair on the
inner circle matches one chair on the outer circle, leaving some space for
movement).
2.) Put questions below on separate pages on a Powerpoint / Google presentation to
project during the seminar.
RULES OF THE SEMINAR:
1.) Have the students pair off and one partner be in “group A” and one partner be in “group B.”
2.) Remind students about good seminar etiquette:
a. Step Up – if you’re usually quiet, try to be bold and say a few things.
b. Share the Air – If you know you’re someone who talks a lot in discussions, try to
give other students a chance to speak as well.
c. Be Respectful – Some people have different opinions (and that’s okay!)
3.) Have group A go to the center circle and group B go to the outer circle.
4.) One partner must always be in the inner circle.
5.) The teacher doesn’t get involved in the seminar. *Note* It’s a student-only discussion
(even if there are strange pauses, just wait for them to fill them). The only teacher
involvement is when you call time and switch the discussion question to the next topic.
6.) After reading the initial question, only students in the inner circle discuss. Students in the
inner circle may elaborate on previous points, debate the merits of a previous point, or
make an entirely new point.
7.) Once the discussion starts, the question stays the same for a total of 10 minutes.
8.) Students must talk on a topic TWICE then they must “tag out” and switch places with their
partner. Their partner then stays in the seminar and the same rule applies.
9.) When the topic switches, the students who are in the circle stay there and switch out after
talking twice. Tell students they must be in the circle at some point during each 10 minute
discussion.
10.) While students talk, you can have a printed roster with their names and check off how
many times each person speaks.
SEMINAR QUESTIONS:
1.) In what ways do the Gamemakers control the environment and “entertainment” value of the
Games?
2.) Why do Katniss and Rue team up, and is this partnership different from the other teams that
are made?
3.) Does knowing that she is on TV make Katniss behave differently than she would otherwise?
How do you know?
4.) Are Peeta and Katniss actually in love or are they just pretending for the Games?

Compiling the Story into a Script
!
!
Purpose
To help students convert their concept into a script for a 1 minute to 1
minute 30 second advertisement.
Time Duration
One class period
Materials Needed
Printed handouts (found on pages 41-42), something to write with, the
example (or printed copies).
OVERVIEW: Students should have their topic, their propaganda technique, and a general idea of how
they want to present the information. Now it is about executing that idea to work towards the best
possible product. For this project, that means breaking down their ideas into the following steps:
CONCEPT, SCRIPT, STORYBOARDS, FILMING, and POST PRODUCTION. The first to focus on is
the script. Have the students work in teams to convert their ideas into a script.
LESSON:
Pass out the handout found on pages 41-42 and go over an example script with the class. A good
example script with details about what items go where can be found at Writersstore.com
(http://www.writersstore.com/how-to-write-a-screenplay-a-guide-to-scriptwriting/) titled “How
to Write a Screenplay: Script Example & Screenwriting Tips.”

First Draft Screenplay
DIRECTIONS: Work with your group to turn your general idea into a script for a 1 MINUTE to 1:30
MINUTE propaganda advertisement. **TIP** Remember to include NON VERBAL directions in your
script as well. Actions and gestures can tell a story more effectively than someone speaking and not
doing anything.
THIS IS JUST AN OUTLINE TO GET YOU STARTED! Start by filling out the blanks and then
continue the format on another sheet of paper. Type up your final draft after it is approved.
Fade In:
1.) What is the setting? Indicate inside a building [INT.] or outside a building [EXT.]
where [AT HOME] and day or night.
Example:
EXT. DISTRICT ELEVEN – SUNSET
__________________________________________________________________
2.) What does it look like/ A description of what’s happening in the scene?
Example: The sun has just set and we’re looking at an orchard full of trees. We
hear four notes ring out and echo across the space.
**If you change shots (or views of your camera) add a transition**
For Example: DISSOLVE TO
3.) Who are your characters? For a character’s first appearance you use ALL CAPS
for their name and describe them. For example:
RUE, a small twelve year old with dark brown skin and eyes jumps down out of a
tree.

direction is written “left justified” on your page like the name example above. Any
dialogue is written like the example below.
RUE
I’m usually up highest, so I’m the first to see the flag that
signals quitting time. There’s a special little song I do that
the mockingjays spread over the orchard. That’s how
everyone knows to knock off.

Turning the Script into a Storyboard
!
Purpose
Planning the key moments in a propaganda film visually.
Time Duration
Half a class to a full class depending on group work / brainstorming
time.
Materials Needed
Big roll of craft paper or poster board with “shot” squares on it.
OVERVIEW: Just like scripts help plan out the words of a film, storyboards help plan out what a film
will look like. Have students watch a film about translating the written word to the screen via
storyboards and then go through the process of storyboarding their films as well.
VIDEO: The Hunger Games EXTRAS “Prepping for the Games: a Directors Process”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6rpF3fhbrM
SETUP:
Prep a large piece of paper or poster with at
least SIX different squares (see example to
the right). They can always add to this, but
they should have at least SIX different
defining moments for their propaganda
piece.
OPTIONAL SUPPORT: There’s a video showing J. Todd Anderson (a Hollywood storyboard artist)
talking about how he communicates visual ideas in storyboard form. The title is “6-Minute Speed
Course Storyboarding with J. Todd Anderson” and it can be found at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL6X1SaaxHU.
For use with students, utilize the video only up to the 4:30 mark.

Filming and Editing the Propaganda Films
!
Purpose
The act of filming the propaganda films.
Time Duration
2 to 3 class periods to film, approximately 3 to 4 days to edit.
Materials Needed
Something to film with, computers to edit on.
FILMING: This portion of the project is going to depend on the resources available to you and your
class. You could record these films on video cameras, DSLR cameras, iPads, or even
smartphones. You should provide the students with basic instructions for how to care and operate
the equipment at a base level, but some of the best learning about how to film will come from them
working with the equipment.
EDITING: This also depends on your access to various technologies. If you have Macs in your
classroom, you can use iMovie; if you have a PC, you can use Windows Movie Maker. If you lack
either of those programs or require further information, consult websites that compare and contrast
various editing tools for students.

Discussion Activity Three: Who’s on Trial?
!
Purpose
To get students discussing key points of The Hunger Games.
Time Duration
45 minutes - could take longer depending on how much you draw out the
scenario.
Materials Needed
Class copies of the graphic organizer (found on page 48)
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY:
This is an activity that allows students to practice perspective taking and role-playing. Each
group is given a scenario, For example: Who is responsible for the success of the
Hunger Games in Panem? Then, each person is assigned a role in the scenario. For
example: Head Gamemaker, Caesar Flickerman, a Tribute, a Mentor, a Capitol
citizen. Students then have to plead their case about why their assigned role is not
responsible. After they make their case about why it ISN’T them, they suggest another
character that should be on trial (they can’t say their character is guilty). After everyone has
made his or her case, the class as jury votes by hand raise and decides which character is
responsible.
!
ACTIVITY SETUP:
1.) Assign students to a scenario and have them take home and fill out their worksheets,
found on page 48, the night before the activity – Remind students to speak in first
person as if they were that person, and encourage them to stick to the outline of the

Discussion Activity Three: Who’s on Trial?
Worksheet
DIRECTIONS: YOU are a very important part of Panem! However, you find yourself on trial for
something unfortunate and you are definitely INNOCENT! Plead your case and prove your innocence
(You CAN’T say your character is at fault) to your fellow citizens of Panem. Also, convincingly
accuse another character; it will help your case. Fill out this form to prepare your case and remember:
WRITE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF YOUR CHARACTER.
For example: “My name is Primrose Everdeen, and it isn’t my fault Katniss had to go into
the Hunger Games! I was scared, but I would have gone. She stepped up and
volunteered. I tried to tell her that I would go, but Gale picked me up and carried me off. If
it weren’t for Gale, I could have convinced Katniss just to let me go and she never would
have gone to the Hunger Games in the first place.”
What’s Your
Scenario?
Who’s Your
Character?
Write AT LEAST THREE reasons the scenario is NOT your fault. (You cannot blame yourself!)
My Name is [say your character’s name] and it is not my fault that [say what you’re on trial
for] because :

IX. Appendix A: Assessments
!
In this section you will find assessments for the overall project and then quizzes for the three
parts of The Hunger Games. The formative and summative assessments are the same form,
and students shouldn’t study for either. This means they should be graded for completion,
but not for content. Give one before the project starts and one after the project is complete.
These assessments are a tool to help gauge student learning over the course of the project.
The section quizzes focus on characters and main ideas from the book or film. Some of
them are right / wrong answers but the other questions should be graded for depth of
understanding:

This is mostly an opinion, but it doesn’t really matter if they say it IS or ISN’T a good place
to live. Look at the reasons students give to judge their depth of understanding for the
structure and situations of Panem and its people. If they say it isn’t a good place to live
and they might mention things such as: poverty, the Hunger Games, heavy presence of
military, the gap between rich and poor. If they say it is they might mention: that there
hasn’t been a war for 100 years, the people in the capitol have a really good life, there are
lots of technological advancements, etc.

Short Answer Continued:
Describe Katniss’s relationship with the following people BEFORE the Hunger Games. How do
these relationships define her personality?
Prim
Katniss’s
Mother
Katniss and Prim are very close. After the death of her father, Katniss took
on the role of caretaker for her whole family. She is constantly protecting
and providing for Prim. The relationship she has with Prim drives her whole
character. Taking care of Prim is what caused her to fight starvation and
start hunting, and saving Prim is what caused her to sacrifice herself for the
reaping.
Katniss and her mother have a complicated relationship. Katniss resents
her mother for not taking care of her and Prim after her father died. She
doesn’t say it much overtly, but she still is uncomfortable trusting her
mother’s assistance even though her mother isn’t lost in her grieving of her
husband. This relationship helped make Katniss determined and a little
more emotionally hardened.
Gale
Before the Hunger Games, Gale is someone who Katniss can trust without
question. He is a source of knowledge and they teach each other to survive.
When everyone was relying on her, and she had no one to help her, she
found Gale. Their relationship holds a great deal of respect and trust. Gale
is the only person (before the Games) that Katniss can count on. Her
relationship with Gale helps her become strong and confident in herself.
Peeta
Before the Hunger Games, Katniss only knows about Peeta because he
saved her life. He showed her mercy and gave her a piece of burnt bread,
despite the fact that he was beaten for it. Before the Games, Katniss is
thankful for the kindness Peeta showed her but also feels extreme guilt and
a bit of resentment towards him. She doesn’t like “owing people” for
anything, and she feels like she owes him more than she can repay. Even
though they don’t know each other well, Peeta changed Katniss’s life by
giving her hope.

Why does Peeta join with the Career tributes in the beginning of the Games? What does he hope

Peeta joins the Careers to help keep Katniss safe. He knows they are going to go after her, so he
pretends to gain their trust so at the last minute he can help save her. At first it seems like he is
trying to win the Games for himself, but really the entire time he is working to protect Katniss and
playing into their “star-crossed lovers” story.

How are the following skills useful in the Hunger Games? Give examples from the book to back
up your answers.
!
!
Combat Skills
Combat skills are useful when you are attacked by another tribute. For more
aggressive tributes they are also the best means of winning the game. The
Careers from the 74th Hunger Games couldn’t hunt or find supplies well, but
since they could fight they used that skill to secure all of the supplies at the
Cornucopia. This worked well for them until Katniss blew up the supplies.
Then it didn’t matter how much combat they knew because the elements /
starvation were getting to them.
Hunting
The skill of hunting could be used as an aggressive combat tactic, but more
than that it’s the art of knowing how to find food. Meat provides severely
needed proteins and nourishment over the course of the Games. Tributes
who can hunt don’t need to rely on the Cornucopia or risk getting stabbed
for grabbing supplies. Katniss stays out of the way of the other tributes for a
long time, going about her normal hunting routine. The Gamemakers even
have to start a fire to push her towards the other tributes.
Knowledge of
Plants and
Trees
A lot of people underestimate this skill and the skill of camouflage, but
victors in the past have used both of these to win the Games. In the Hunger
Games, Rue knows more about plants than any of the other tributes in the
arena. She shows Katniss what leaves to chew to help cure the tracker
jacker stings. Rue also shows Katniss edible berries versus nightlock which
plays a major role in the rest of the games.
Intelligence
Many victors have won the Games using their intellect. In the 74th Hunger
Games, the girl Katniss calls Foxface from District 5 is the smartest tribute
in the arena. Though she has no hunting, gathering, or combat skills she is
able to evade notice and take food from other tributes (sometimes without
them even noticing).

Short Answer: Answer the questions as thoroughly as possible, provide details as examples.
Why was what Katniss did with the berries such a big offense to the Capitol?
The purpose of the Hunger Games is to remind the Districts that the Capitol (and only the
Capitol) is in control of the country and not them. For the system to survive, it need its followers
in the Capitol (and first few districts – like the army) to be on board. Katniss and Peeta created
such a good “story” with the star-crossed lovers theme that it put the Gamemakers in an odd
position: play into the hype of the Games, or keep it strictly about control. There aren’t supposed
to be “winners” of the Hunger Games, only “survivors,” because the Capitol is always supposed
to be the winner. However, Katniss changed the rules when she held up the berries and forced
the Capitol to let her and Peeta live to carry on the appearance of a good show. Then that one
spark of defiance starts rebellions in the Districts.

3.) In the Games, animals called “muttations” are used against the tributes. Explain what the
following muttations are and why they are so dangerous.
Tracker Jacker
Tracker jackers are the wasp-like creatures in the Hunger Games that
Katniss uses to attack the career tributes (killing one of them). Tracker
jackers have extremely painful stings and more than a few stings are lethal.
On top of being painful, they cause powerful hallucinations. The severity of
the stings from the tracker jackers rendered all of the strongest tributes in
the Games inactive for several days.
Mockingjay
Mockingjays were not intended to be muttations. They were the result of
mockingbirds that mated with the Capitol created jabberjays used to spy on
people in the districts. The mockingjay is not dangerous to the tributes but
they are dangerous to the Capitol. They are an example of something the
Capitol never intended to happen that flourished on their own. Since their
very existence is such an act of defiance, they are dangerous as a symbol
of the revolution.
Wolf Mutts
The wolf mutts enter the story running after Cato. They chase Cato, Peeta,
and Katniss up on top of the Cornucopia. The scariest thing about these
mutts is that they look like the previously killed tributes; more specifically
they have their eyes.
