 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * My teaching unit has focused on meeting the Common Core State Standards for reading, grade 7. My domain is literature and my standard is that of Key Ideas and Details. In order to successfully meet this goal, my students will need to understand that individuals, events, and ideas develop throughout the novel that we will read, __The Hunger Games__. The students will also need to understand the central ideas within __The Hunger Games__. It is my hope that by reading such a unique novel, they will also understand that an exposure to a range of texts can continue to develop their understandings and skills in reading. Students will need to know terminology of the novel, so as to be able to effectively discuss it in class and amongst their peers. They will also need to be aware of the critical details within the novel and the important events and people that are affected by the novel. Throughout this unit, they will consider why the actions/ideas of one character affect the whole novel, how can we determine what the main ideas are within __The Hunger Games__, and how the novel relates to others we have read and discussed in class. Students will be able to show their knowledge in a variety of technical mediums as well as through class discussions. Students will be creating podcasts, blogs, digital posters, comics, online essays, and a video presentation. Through these multiple projects, they will be able to demonstrate their understanding of __The Hunger Games__ in a variety of mediums. ||
