Description

The year is 2096. Panem, is the country that rose up out of the ashes of a place that was once called North America. Panem is the result of drastic climate change that brought drought, storms, fires, encroaching seas that swallowed up much of the land, and a brutal war for the few resources that remained. In Panem, each of the 12 Districts must furnish the Capitol with natural resources. This look at a future world through the popular novel, Hunger Games, provides an engaging dystopic scenario through which students analyze regional resources through charts, tables, graphs, linear functions, and algebraic equations. This lesson contains strategies for diverse learners.
