A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

What personal traits and values are rewarded in The Hunger Games? How fair or unfair is that way of organizing society?

Teaching Suggestion: Re-reading key scenes and exploring what traits are celebrated or help people survive could guide students to access the question and use textual evidence to support their ideas. For a possible extension, students could discuss what traits they believe should be rewarded in society.

Differentiation Suggestion: For visual students, offering a graphic organizer might aid in planning the discussion. Students could create a chart listing qualities they see celebrated in one column and examples or textual evidence in a second column. Students might also sketch a scene and include captions or list qualities that help a character survive.
