HOMEWORK – given out 2/10, due Mon 7th October
‘The Hunger Games’ Chapter 1 – Alternative Ending 1/2 to 1 Jotter page You can type it if you want.
Imagine that you are one of the other children at the Reaping. You are waiting to see whose name is going to be picked.
Imagine how you would be feeling and what thoughts might be running through your mind:
• You might be part of the draw for the first time or this might be your last.
• Is your name entered many times or only a few?
• How do you feel about the draw? Will you escape?
• What about your friends or family?
• What do you feel as the name is picked?
• What happens immediately after the first name is read out?
TASK:
Write an alternative ending which describes the moment the name of the first District 12 tribute is drawn out.
Choose your words and images carefully to make your writing tense and exciting to read. Use vivid techniques. Check your sentences and paragraphs carefully.
Write your ending from: ‘The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop, and…’ (p20) OR you can start a little bit before this if you want.
