They did an amazing job!
Chris and Henry created an original arena for The Hunger Games, complete with explanation of their philosophy as Gamemakers. They incorporated aspects of Chinese culture to their pentagonal design; each section represents an element.
Oriol put together a really amazing Prezi complete with three propaganda videos designed for a "revolution" at our school. He paid attention to every.little.detail, and the result is fantastic. (Click on the word "Prezi" to view it.)
Joe researched the idea of revolution and created a display board showcasing different ways to define revolution: from historical political revolutions in China, Cuba, France, and Russia to new artists revolutionizing the musical scene.
Alvaro wrote a 5-page compare/contrast paper between the Catching Fire book and the movie, using articles published about the topic and interviews with the author and director as sources. He then added his own thoughts about the idea of revolution and how reading the book can enhance one's understanding and appreciation of the movie.
