Students will be divided into 6 teams.

- Each table is going to take on the role of one of six Districts of Panem. - You are going to spend 10 minutes creating a character from that District. Think about:- A name which gives clues about your character’s personality.- Your character’s job: what your work consists of.- What your life is like.- Your character’s family/friends (also those who may have died in the Hunger Games in the last years)- Your character’s opinion of Panem/The Capitol.

District 2's seal depicts a block of stone and carving tools. The

district's public presentation is that of stone quarries, but it also manufactures weaponry, makes

trains, and supplies Peacekeepers. The main military complex in the

district is known as The Nut. Citizens of District 2 are

sometimes called "the pets" of the Capitol. They are the biggest supporters of the Capitol and

therefore are pampered and given many extra conveniences.

District 3's primary industry is general electronics of many types, though it is known for

also making various mechanical products such as

automobiles and firearms. Thus, many of its residents are

technically apt.

District 4's industry is fishing, thus most residents have experience using nets and tridents, making

fishhooks from scratch, swimming, and identifying edible sea life. It is

considered a Career district.

District 7's industry is lumber and many of its residents have

experience with hatchets, axes, saws, and other tree cutting

tools. Also, Katniss notes that this district's children begin work

at an early age.

District 8's principal industry is the production of textiles, and they have at least one factory

that is primarily used for making Peacekeeper uniforms.

District 11's industry is agriculture - orchards and fields of grain and cotton surround the

district. Almost everything grown is shipped directly to the Capitol. It is one of the poorest districts in Panem,

second only to District 12. In addition, it is also one of the

districts where the Peacekeepers are the strictest. Ironically, this directly results in

its residents generally being malnourished and underfed

despite its focus on agriculture.

Write a descriptive paragraph from the viewpoint of your character as you wait for the names to be drawn in The Reaping.
