Hunger Games Unit Common Core Standards Alignment

Has your state adopted the Common Core Standards?

Over the summer I aligned my Hunger Games unit with the Common Core Standards for ELA for both grades 6-8 and 9-12 strands. Those who purchased earlier CDs or my digital unit will not have this document, so I wanted to post it for you. Anyone who has purchased (or is going to purchase) a CD since July will already have this it. Thanks for your patience!

Because there are so many standards (and lessons!), I grouped them together--any that fulfill that particular standard will be listed to the left of it. They can be viewed/downloaded below.

I hope everyone has a wonderful school year, especially if you have the opportunity to read this fabulous novel (or the entire series) in your classes. Check out the Hunger Games Back to School Sweeps (a collaboration between Scholastic, Lionsgate, and DonorsChoose.org) to help support your fellow teachers and the chance to win a library for the school of your choice. There are many teachers in high poverty areas that need your help getting The Hunger Games for their students. Lend a hand...you may win your own set of books in the process!  


May the odds be ever in your favor this school year!

Celebrate Literacy Month With The Hunger Games

Would you like to win a classroom set of The Hunger Games novels?

Find out more on Sara Gundell's article on The Hunger Games Examiner. Scholastic and Lionsgate have joined forces with Scribd and Donors Choose to promote literacy during the month of September (which is National Literacy Month). You can now read the first two chapters of The Hunger Games online now, as well. Enter the contest & help out a fellow teacher here.

And don't forget, Shylah has been promoting literacy for almost a year as part of her Literacy Revolution. Perhaps Scholastic and Lionsgate heard of it and realized what an awesome idea it is?!
