Thoughts on YA Lit from a not so young adult: Hunger Games Questions
http://teachyalit.blogspot.com/2009/04/hunger-games-questions.html
Saturday, April 4, 2009. So, I think I covered most of my thoughts on the Hunger Games with my review post (see review a few posts down) but my high school students are reading it for our book club selection this month. I'm really eager to get the teenage perspective. Just thought I'd open it up for question suggestions - what would you want to discuss about the Hunger Games in a book club? And/Or what would you want to know from a teenager with regards to the book? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Important topic/current issue books - ex. the economy, government, war, genocide etc. Monday, February 16, 2009. I'm an...

Thoughts on YA Lit from a not so young adult: The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins
http://teachyalit.blogspot.com/2009/03/hunger-games_27.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins. Categories: dystopia, survival, humanity, war, poverty, class issues, children, brutality, relationships, romance. Especially since this is YA Lit, a stronger message of redemption and hope is needed to push it into the "A" range for me). This book took me much longer than I had anticipated to read, mostly due to my incredibly busy schedule, but also partly due to how uncomfortable this book was to read! Oh, I j...
