Novel Study: The Hunger Games: Pre-Reading Activity

Prepare students for reading Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games by having them complete this pre-reading activity! Designed for seventh- and eighth-grade readers, the prompts in this novel study worksheet are meant to get students thinking about their own personal views to prepare them for reading about the complex topics in The Hunger Games. Students will read and reflect on 10 opinion statements related to themes of the novel, choosing one statement to expand on. There is also a second page with the same opinion statements and space for reflection so that students can see if any of their opinions changed as a result of reading the novel. This resource can be a great tool for sparking respectful discussions in the classroom! For additional novel study resources, be sure to check out the full set of worksheets related to the The Hunger Games.
