We have NOT used your blogs in awhile. Let’s create a Word Mosaic.
Here’s an example using the book War Horse.
It can be on any aspect of The Hunger Games. You can copy in a passage. You can describe a character. You think of words that describe the theme.
Pick a shape that you think goes with the book; pick a font that best symbolizes HG.
Whenever you want to see the design, press the “Preview” button.

The above image is from a TED Talk about the company that developed the puppets for the play. The talk is a bit long, but if you click on “Open interactive transcript” you can scan the text and pick parts you’re interested in seeing. Just click on the text to take you to that spot on the video. Here is the link.
In addition, Dreamworks has the beginnings of a website for the movie. It will be released on December 28th. Take a look and see if you can guess which actor will play which character!
