Welcome to your online reading experience!

While you are epically re-reading The Hunger Games, you are excused from your personal blog and required to post on this blog.  The requirements here are to:
  • Write one 1-2 paragraph post per week on anything Hunger Games (book) related that you find thought provoking.  This blog is a place to discuss the things we may not get a chance to talk about in class.  
  • Respond to someone else's post with a 1 paragraph long comment to continue the conversation.  
  • Try to write in a way that invites a response from readers.  If your original post doesn't ask a question or pose an idea that is thought provoking or controversial, chances are people won't choose your post to comment on.  
  • Post additional comments (long or short) to exceed standards.  
  • Use labels so that our collective thoughts are loosely organized.  Before you post, look at the labels that have already been used, and if you can use the existing ones.  For example, there shouldn't be one label called "Katniss" and another called "Katniss Everdeen."  In ELA terms, we call that "redundant"! 
You will have one final "epic post" due once we are finished with the book. I will explain more about that later.
