Make a movie guide for The Hunger Games to track the hero's journey including questions for each stage that use high-level critical thinking and analysis as well as evidence (events, dialogue, elements of movies like lighting, stage direction, costumes, etc) to answer. It can include charts to fill-in, fill-in the blanks, multiple choice, etc.
This learning resource guides students through the analysis of Katniss Everdeen's journey in 'The Hunger Games' using the hero's journey archetype, also known as the monomyth. Students will explore the various stages of the journey, including the Ordinary World, Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call, and others, to identify how these stages inform the character's development and the narrative structure of the story. Additionally, the resource emphasizes the role of cinematic techniques in enhancing storytelling, prompting students to analyze specific filmmaking choices that influence the audience's understanding of key themes such as rebellion and sacrifice. Critical thinking activities encourage students to engage deeply with the text and film, fostering skills in evidence-based analytical responses.
