Literature presented to young, impressible, students must be relevant enough to enrich and intrigue without boring them.

about what my life would be like if I was the protagonist in one of these stories. By the time the first Hunger Games movie came about in 2012 I was in the sixth grade and absolutely obsessed. I had all the books, magazines, posters and even pillowcases. Naturally I started to compare all of my school experiences to the Nation of Panem and I was protagonist Katniss Everdeen.

This type of literacy is one that is mostly for fun, but it also gave me incentive to spend time with my dad. He was the one who taught me every aspect of the game (how to swing a bat, pitch the ball, and catch a pop fly).

The French classroom buzzes with chatter. Today it’s Crêpe day. Madame will show us some of the foods relished in France. For many of us it’s a day of relaxation and peace. Madame has hinted that we might go to an authentic French restaurant and this excites the classroom. The chances of being able to practice our French there is slim, but still intriguing.
