I even have the 8th graders in my school study utopian/dystopian literature each year. I hands down refused to read it and I like utopia/dystopian literature.
The movie adaptation of Suzanne Collin’s Hunger Games is rumored to be as good as everyone had hoped and I am not going to lie – when I first heard about this book I was completely and totally turned off by the idea. So there is clearly a bit of a craze sweeping my school as the count down to the movie release draws near. The teachable moments of the books! Hunger Games The Hunger Games Trilogy So there is not going to be a lot of plot recall and character traits but rather thoughts and ideas that I have about the use of the books in the classroom. That said – I also want to be very clear that I am going to through my two cents in about two trilogies that are really big now in the Young Adult genre but Ally Condie has not released Reached yet and it is not due out until November.Īnd finally, I have made the decision to on occasion “review” some great books that I have come across over the years that work really well with even the most difficult of students in a hope that I can share some ideas with others out there.
Before I even being this post, I want to be very very very clear – there are some serious SPOILERS in what I am writing so if you a diehard believer in not knowing what the end of a book is about – let alone any details from part of a great piece of fiction…then I would urge you not to read.
