Description
The Hunger Games has been creating quite a stir, with many KS3 teachers keen to take advantage of their students' enthusiasm for both novel and film to teach it as a class text.

Includes simulations, role-plays and debates, comparisons with classical myth and quest narratives, fresh approaches to character and many activities that prepare students for KS4 textual study. It also provides a manageable route through the text using the film in constructive and imaginative ways.
