Students learn to analyze character motivations, track conflicts, and identify themes such as fairness, survival, and sacrifice. The dystopian setting helps them practice recognizing literary elements like symbolism and world-building, while also prompting discussions that connect to real-world issues. These lessons encourage students to think critically about justice, resilience, and the importance of standing up for others.\r\n\r\nIn the classroom, reading takes on an interactive and purposeful form. Whole-class reading and discussion allow students to unpack challenging passages together, while small group activities promote collaboration and deeper thinking. Students use strategies such as annotating key moments, journaling from a character's perspective, and mapping relationships between characters and events. These activities not only strengthen comprehension but also foster higher-level analysis, communication, and empathy. By combining independent reading with shared discussion, students learn to connect personally with the text while supporting their ideas with evidence.\r\n\r\nMany students are especially drawn to the novel's action and suspense. Those who enjoy adventure and survival stories quickly connect with Katniss's courage and determination, while others are more interested in the moral dilemmas she faces. Even reluctant readers have shown enthusiasm, often motivated by the fast-paced plot and vivid world-building. The accessibility and depth of The Hunger Games make it a strong choice for engaging a wide range of learners, encouraging thoughtful reflection while building strong literacy skills.","fullyFundedDate":1746451189863,"projectUrl":"project/a-book-in-their-hands-a-world-in-their/9145310/","projectTitle":"A Book in Their Hands, a World in Their Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Julie Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8114695_orig.jpg?crop=1027,1027,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633392969368","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8114695"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69625","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1636,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"26.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.6,"schoolId":69625,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sig Rogich Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sig Rogich Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/sig-rogich-middle-school/69625"}
