=The Hunger Games=

-Characters
[|Which are you]? This give a chance to personally relate students to the characters in the novel to help them visualize the characters.

-Character descriptions
[|Character compare]. This site has a brief biography and photo listed. I would like to have the students name and describe some key traits about them, then use the site to enhance what they already know and give them a chance to see what was described.

-What are the Hunger Games
[|Glossary of terms] This sums up all the Hunger Games terms described on two pages to help students grasp the idea of arenas. So the readers can see it and review.

-Events of the 74th Reaping
[|24Tributes]. This provides all twenty four tributes pictures and side links for the students to explore. They can learn more about each of the other districts as well as the capitol and district twelve. [|Open-ended Discussion]I believe that getting student responses, and participation throughout the novel will help encourage students read the novel along with the class, if not read ahead because hearing their classmates' interest will encourage them to take an interest.

-District 12
[|Mine Explosions]. This is a science article talking about mining and the chance of accidents. It's science tied to the novel to give kids a better understand of a real world occurrence.

-What happens to the tributes after the reaping (up to this point)
[|The real version.] This site talks about a modern day place where people would be training for the games if the Hunger Games were real.

-Why is the main character so upset about the other tribute chosen?(the back story)
[|Chapter Sum-Up] This site sums up the major points of the entire book. As a teacher, I can reference quickly exactly where a major even happened without having the book in front of me. For students, if they miss a day, they can read over the events for the pages missed so they're not behind.
