Our topic on Monday was "The Topics in Mockingjay"

We have summarized our topics of last week and have come to the following results:

The topics in Mockinjay

1. Katniss' internal conflict
(Gale or Peeta, Prim's development, friend or enemy)

2. Politics
(new vs. old leader, construction of District 13, bombardment on District 12)

3. The story of the tributes
(Finnick's story, Haymitch's live, tributes - the Capitol slaves)

4. Happy End?


We continue with the worksheet "The Use of Propaganda".

Use of Propaganda 
( http://hungergamespropaganda.blogspot.de/ )






The use of "propos" or propaganda is used by both the rebels and the Capitol. Even though the technology for the people to receive information is basically on a television, it seems to be effective.
The use of video propaganda is used throughout the trilogy. Katniss finds herself on television more than she would like. Students could discuss the following:

• How does President Snow of the Capitol use propaganda? Give examples and tell how it is effective.

• How does President Alma Coin of District 13 and the rebels use propaganda? Give examples and tell how it is effective.

• Who uses it best? Why?

We start working on the worksheet and wanted finish working on Thursday because...

...we have written our exam on Tuesday and I hope all of you passed because then you will stand the ABITUR.

On Thursday we compared our results:

President Snow's use of Propaganda:

• Caesar Flickerman interviews Peeta on the television à the Capitol know about the plans of District 13

• President Snow himself talk about the consequence the rebellious act of District 13

• show the bombardments their arranged to Panem

• show Katniss as the symbol of rebellion --> Katniss as the leader the districts can follow

• Peeta together with Katniss --> the Capitol couldn’t change Peeta

• the bombardments of the Capitol against the Districts --> use the brutality of the Capitol against it

Who uses it best?

Capitol: brutality, intimidation

• Snow wants to stop the conflict: don't want to lose his position

Coin/ rebels: hack the Capitol's system, one society without the Hunger Games

Why?

In my opinion President Coin and the rebels used the best propaganda because they want to over throw the Capitol and stop the Hunger Games as a community.
Katniss is the symbol and a good leader of the rebellion, the revolution behind the system of District 13.

For next week devided up in four goups for the "Topics of Mockingjay".
