The Educurious Hunger Games Challenge

An Educurious Challenge on Lessons Learned from The Hunger Games

Educurious and Glogster EDU are excited to sponsor this Learning Challenge. The Hunger Games book and movie raise many issues that are relevant to students today, including the challenge of social class, trust and human connection, the role that the media plays in forming public opinion and political systems, and the possible events that may have led to Panem, the post-apocalyptic world of The Hunger Games.

In this final project, you must create a Glog demonstrating evidence of a social, political, or environmental issue that explains how North America ended up in the catastrophic predicament as portrayed in The Hunger Games book and movie.

This is an evidence-based, informative essay with a call to action.

What can we do to avoid the path that led to Panem, the post-apocalyptic world of The Hunger Games?
