05.13 - Reading Logs

At the beginning of class today, I introduced the reading logs that we will be using to analyze characters (mostly Katniss and Peeta) as we read The Hunger Games. These reading logs use the same structure as our note-taking with the "Prophecy Girl" episode of Buffy from class on Thursday 05.08.

Our first reading section of The Hunger Games is chapters 1-4 (pgs. 1-60). In this section, everyone is looking at Katniss for chapters 1, 2, and 3 as well as Peeta in chapters 3 and 4. Everyone had the next forty minutes to read, take notes on characteristics, and then respond to the reading log prompt. People who had created their own characteristic categories were able to use their individualized sheets for these reading logs. Anyone that did not have their own categories is able to use the set that we created as a class (see handouts below).

At the end of the period, we reviewed class performance on the Buffy gender characteristics notes and responses (assignment feedback below).

Handouts:
