Okay kids, this is for you. Many of you expressed an interest in having an online spot where I could post helpful information and you could ask questions. If you check this blog frequently I think you will find it to be a very valuable resource.
Early next week you will have an exam over all of part one of The Hunger Games. Part one covers chapters 1-9. Here is an outline of what you will need to study in order to rock the exam:
Characters: Know who they are from Katniss-Thresh. (p.12-14)
Symbolism: Understand what the symbols represent all the way through "katniss (arrowhead plant)" (p.25)
Themes: Hunger, desensitization, survival, government control, humanity, and rebellion are just a few of the themes in this novel, but they are the ones that will be on this exam. Make sure you can identify events that demonstrate those themes. (p.26)
Skills: Identify the skills that belong to Peeta and Katniss. (p.23)
Setting: Describe where the story takes place at different times and events. (p.16)
The exam will be given on clickers and will have 50 questions.

Mrs. Terpening, Its Courtney S. I Had A Few Questions That Will Help Me ALOT! Okay, so.. Are We Taking This Exam On Monday? I Still Don't Quite Understand Some Of The Themes. Like, Does Desensitization Mean To Not Care About Something, Or Change Someones Opinion On Something? Thank You For Reading This.(:

Hey Courtney. Desensitization is when people STOP feeling shocked, angry, or upset by scenes of violence or cruelty (or really bad stuff in general) because they are exposed to it so much it no longer bothers them the way it should. It is the complete opposite of sensitive. Hope this helps. :-) Mrs. T
