EXCLUSIVE: 'The Hunger Games' author Suzanne Collins to be featured in new comic

As announced on tonight's Hunger Games Fireside Chat...Your favorite author will be the feature in a comic book style biography.

The 900 section of the library will be getting a great facelift with a comic-style biography of Suzanne Collins written by Sara Gundell from The Hunger Games Examiner. I think this is a perfect way to add a little spark to the biography section, which always seemed to bore me just a little. I cannot wait to get this (pre-ordered on Amazon already!) and learn more about The Hunger Games author. How about you?

Here's a lesson idea: Have your students create a mini comic biography of an author or poet you have studied. Don't teach English? How about a comic-bio of a famous figure in history, scientist, politician, or athlete? Your students can use Comic Life or other comic-book creators online, or do it the old fashioned way with paper. Click here for FREE templates you can save and print.

I think I love Josh even more after seeing him as Peeta! How 'bout you?

Mainstay Productions Releases Katniss and Peeta Cave Scene

From The Hunger Games Examiner.

  Mainstay Productions gives The Hunger Games fans something to relish as we wait for Lionsgate to release any news (like who will portray the characters!) for "The Hunger Games" movie, to be released March 23, 2012.

Even though this scene from the cave (where Peeta describes when he first fell in love with Katniss) is only a screen test of the actor's chemistry for an action movie, it still helps visualize the scene in the cave that gave me goosebumps when I read it! The actor playing Peeta is British, but still has that sweetness we'd expect from Peeta. What do you think, fans?

You can also view their Katniss and Rue scene here, if you are one of the few who haven't seen it yet. I, myself, did not feel so strongly either way, except that I was mad the story didn't follow the book (Glimmer would have been dead by this scene and Rue has dark skin, hair, and eyes rather than blond). But if it was just a screen test for those actors to play in a different movie like the Katniss and Peeta cave scene, I completely understand.

Either way, Mainstay is giving us fans something to see, at least! :)
