My Project

Adding more copies of The Hunger Games series, including Sunrise on the Reaping, to our classroom library will inspire young readers and nurture critical thinking. The original trilogy captivates with action-packed narratives and explores themes of courage, resilience, and justice. Set in a dystopian society where the Capitol exercises control through oppression and fear, these stories serve as mirrors, reflecting challenges faced by individuals under authoritarian regimes. They also act as windows, allowing students to glimpse a fictional yet thought-provoking world that sparks reflection on their own societal values.

The latest book, Sunrise on the Reaping, emphasizes the struggles of ordinary citizens, teaching empathy and presenting fresh perspectives on life in Panem.

By exploring moral dilemmas and the complex dynamics of power, this installment deepens the series’ dystopian elements and encourages readers to examine the impact of inequality and injustice. Similarly, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes sheds light on the origins of the Hunger Games, offering insights into leadership and ethical conflicts. These works collectively challenge students to think critically about themes like resistance, morality, and societal structures.

By increasing the number of copies in our classroom library, students gain access to narratives that transcend entertainment. These dystopian books provide a platform for discussing social justice, personal responsibility, and the consequences of power. Acting as both mirrors of personal experiences and windows into unfamiliar worlds, the series enriches the classroom experience while fostering meaningful and thoughtful engagement with literature.
