Today we completed Journal entry #13 together (Harvard #12):
The Hunger Games -- how power is shown (we brainstormed a page or so of ways...i.e. District 12 gives the silent salute when Katniss volunteers; Katniss & Peeta take the Nightlock in an effort to force the Capitol to revoke the new rules that there can be only one winner; District #11 sent bread to Katniss....----- we then came up with categories that our examples would fit in
The Capitol/Gamemakers/Peacekeepers -- Government ruling by fear
Katniss & Peeta -- individuals motivated to be true to themselves and what is right
Groups of People from districts -- power through unity and numbers
Others (Cato, Clove, Thresh) -- power through training, talents, physical strength
We finished reading The Hunger Games and discussed the foreshadowing Collins gave us about what condition Peeta would be in.
We read our introductory paragraphs on our essay about Clothing. We brainstormed possible main ideas for our next 3 paragraphs (expressing individuality, judging based on clothes, stereotyping, etc....). Write the next three paragraphs of your essay (the body) by Tuesday.
We collated our Hunger Games Project and handed them in. We turned in our test corrections for Simple Solutions Test #4.
