The Hunger Games

Collins, Suzanne


In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Thinking about you, thinking about me

Winner, Michelle Garcia.


"Teaching perspective taking and social thinking to persons with social cognitive learning challenges"--Cover. Perspective taking: thinking, learning and teaching -- The keys to perspective taking -- The four steps to communication -- Communication step 1: enhancing perspective taking knowledge & skills -- Communication step 2: establishing physical presence -- Communication step 3: thinking with your eyes -- Communication step 4: using language to develop, sustain relationship -- Social behavior mapping -- The me binder: teaching students about their IEPs -- About the Social Thinking Dynamic Assessment Protocol -- Standardized assessments: comments & critiques. Students with social cognitive learning deficits face enormous challenges not only in their day-to-day relations with the world around them, but also in the fact that few professionals, educational or medical, understand the core of these students' deficits. One fundamental deficit relates to perspective taking - the ability of one person to consider the point of view and motives of another. Although this sounds like a simple process, it is in fact a hugely complex task that is crucial to successful interpersonal relations, and is a skill that anyone with a social cognition disability will struggle with. This book addresses the different ways this problem can present itself, the current thinking on how to approach the problem and a wealth of exercises and activities that can immediately be applied to the student. Illustrated with clear diagrams and tables, and with photocopiable handouts, this accessible text will be invaluable for anyone assessing, living with or teaching children and adults with this most abstract of all learning disabilities.
