This engaging and informative lesson enables students to understand how the lead protagonist of Suzanne Collins’ ‘The Hunger Games’ – Katniss Everdeen - develops as a character throughout the novel. In doing so, students learn how she develops and acquires the key skills, characteristics, beliefs, and values to become the complete dystopian heroine.
The lesson follows a step-by-step learning journey, in which children learn through:
Comprehending how Katniss is initially introduced to the reader;
Reading extracts from Chapters 3, 7 and 14 of The Hunger Games, identifying how Katniss’ character develops;
Analysing how her character fits the role of the ‘Dystopian Hero/Heroine’, and matching her traits to the different features of this character form;
Applying their understanding by creating their own Dystopian Hero/Heroine;
Self assessing their learning attempts.
