Creative Lesson Plan- The Emily Hunger Games

I did this for my CT lesson observation with Sec 2E3.

As the students have already been exposed to the analysis of Emily's (in Emily of Emerald Hill) character study, this lesson objective was to challenge them to evaluate her character using the context of the movie The Hunger Games.

The students are divided into their drama project groups and tasked to send one "tribute" to the front of the class after 15 minutes of preparation. Their goal is to convince the audience (that is, their classmates) that they are the real EMily. Each group is assigned one personality trait-domineering, efficient for example. They have to use the PEE structure to act out the entire 1-2 minute presentation.

The role of the audience was to write down in their handouts what was presented by each of the Emilys and they had to come to a vote. The losers are those who failed to make use of the PEE structure to convince them that they are the real identity of Emily.


I aired the trailer at the beginning of class and after that, role played as Effie Trinket, the woman who picked the names of the main characters. It was interactive and really fun as the students got to use something that they already know and are excited about, and apply it to something that is a little more complicated.
