Class Period:
Below, you’ll see nine options. You will need to choose and complete three of them for your final.
Your three selections need to form a Tic-Tac-Toe design—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You
may complete one at a time and turn them in when you’re done, or work on them all at the same time,
and turn them in as a group. All three are due by Tuesday, November 10th, 2009.
You will get more information about each activity tomorrow. In the meantime, figure out which three
you’d like to do, and get started by using the “Starting Points” on the back of this sheet.

Starting Points
1. Vocabulary Focus …… The 10 words you’ll focus on will all be adjectives. Of the 37
words we studied, 21 are adjectives. Select 10 of those 21 that
you’d like to study. Choose words you like!
2. Movie Poster ………… You’ll need to select which images from The Hunger Games to
incorporate into your Movie Poster. In addition, you should know
enough about the characters to be able to visualize what they look
like, so you can select current celebrities to play the parts.
3. Drawing ……………… Choose your favorite chapter, and jot down at least eight main
events and actions from that chapter.
4. Board Game ..………… Starting at Chapter 11 (page 148) and going to the end of the book,
gather a list of all events and obstacles that are found in the arena.
These might include lack of food, tracker jackers, crazy tributes,
etc.
5. Novel Test …………… If you have not yet finished the book, you need to do that before
attempting this final.
6. Travel Brochure ……… Begin jotting down the benefits of living in the Capitol. The whole
point of a travel brochure is to promote the positive aspects and
ignore the negative ones. Persuade people to visit. Write down all
the positive things about the Capitol that you can remember (and
use the book).
7. Compare/Contrast …… Gather as much information about Panem that you can, including
the type of government, punishments, laws, etc. Then, think about
our U.S. society today. How are the two similar? How are they
different?
8. Creative Story …………You will be correctly using all nine of the verbs, and then six other
words of your choosing, in a 2-page imaginative story. Plan your
story and choose your words.
9. Character Focus ……… Begin recalling and finding as much information about Katniss as
you can. What does she look like? What are her strengths?
Weaknesses? Opinions? What is her family like? What do her
actions in the arena say about her as a person?
