This engaging and informative lesson enables students to understand the key messages communicated by Suzanne Collins throughout ‘The Hunger Games.’ Students gain knowledge about Collins’ life, influences, and beliefs, in addition to developing their understanding of the other contextual features of the novel.

Self assessing their learning attempts.

All resources are provided in Word (for easy editing) and PDF (to ensure formatting remains fixed between different computers).
