Tuesday November Sixth

Today you completed an anticipation guide for The Hunger Games. We discussed the definitions of the words utopia and dystopia before talking about what we would have in our own personal utopias.

We've read half of the first chapter of Hunger Games. We learned a bit about Katniss's past, and we saw her hunt with her friend Gale. Katniss is just getting ready to attend the reaping.
Some important things (terms and characters) that have shown up in the book so far are the following:

Tessera
Reaping

The Seam
The Hob
District 12

Katniss Everdeen
Primrose (Prim) Everdeen
Gale
Effie Trinket
Madge

Your homework is to read your SSR book and complete another blog entry (this should be #6). Make sure you stay caught up with these.

Friday the Second

Today we're working on making our blogs look better for a few minutes. You should have four SSR posts so far. Your fifth SSR post is due on Tuesday. Please don't forget this. It will be the first grade of quarter two for you.

I've uploaded an anticipation guide to the calendar. You need to go to the actual calendar (from my blog or yours) to open the file. Please let me know if you have any issues with this.
