Incorporating The Hunger Games into the Classroom

Submitted by Cynthia Columbus (guest) on Mon, 09/09/2013 - 8:31pm.

I was reading an article called "6 Cool Ways Teachings are Using The Hunger Games in the Classroom" and one of the ways was to talk about social justice. I am just thinking that, with all of the ways that the Hunger Games are advertised on TV and online, focusing on the love story or the action, one might not even understand straight away that under the surface it is about government corruption and violation of human rights. The way the movie is presented online may shut off possibilities of discussing the deeper themes involved and mainly just the teachers that have read the book can appreciate it's potential for discussion.
