For my English Education class at Wright State, each group of two people had to come up with one Young Adult book to pair with Romeo & Juliet. My group, consisting of Heather and I, was given the theme of manipulation to pair up with R&J. Now what you have to understand is Heather and I are a little obsessed with the YA book, The Hunger Games. Maybe the word "little" is putting it too lightly. We've read it at least 4 times, have already made lesson plans on it, and own two Hunger Games t-shirts. So, Heather demanded that we choose Hunger Games to booktalk to the class, to try and persuade them to read and pair with R&J. Because not everyone in the class has read it and because it has every theme R&J has, we thought it would be a good idea. Heather and I are overachievers as well. If something is due in a week, we'll have it down in two days. Anyway, to persuade our peers to pick Hunger Games to read, we decided to write and chant a rap/poem to go along with a video we made, instead of doing your normal pick a quote and give a synopsis of the book booktalk. Here is that video. Enjoy, haha:
