More Than Reading Comprehension

These assessments are designed to measure more than students’ ability to remember plot details.

Throughout the four assessments, students examine important literary concepts, including:

• Character development and motivation
• Survival, sacrifice, and responsibility
• Trust, loyalty, and relationships
• Power, inequality, and oppression
• Identity and personal autonomy
• Symbolism and recurring themes
• Propaganda and public perception
• The influence of media and spectacle
• Resistance and rebellion
• Evidence-based literary analysis

As students progress through the novel, questions increasingly challenge them to connect events, analyze character decisions, evaluate relationships, and explain how Suzanne Collins develops complex themes.
