Good books are accessible through a variety of literary lenses. To consider how the same story can be seen in different lights, groups develop a storyboard for a movie teaser that would focus on one of six concepts found in Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games. They then craft a series of illustrations that represent events that underscore their concept.

Instructional Ideas

• Save examples of storyboards from previous years to use as models

Classroom Considerations

• While the resource references Hunger Games, any text with which class members are familiar, would do for the activity
• It's helpful if class members have studied the protocols for storyboards
  

Pros

• Groups swap the finished storyboards and are asked to identify the concept the trailer would identify

Cons

• No rubric is included
