I had the 6th grade teachers at my school look it over and the only thing they really wanted in addition to a good answer key was a test that was set up like our state test in reading. Let me tell you the answer key took long enough! I did eventually come up with a test that covers the figurative language, setting, etc. and is in the state testing format. The whole thing is 67 pages long and can be found if you are interested at:

Hunger Games Literature Study
I have been working on a Hunger Games lit study for awhile. My main motivation was the fact that I will be teaching 7th grade reading next year along with 6th and 7th grade science. This literature study has activities for every chapter of the book. There are basic lessons in setting, mood, rising action, climax, and resolution, as well as some fun stuff. There is a found poem for Haymitch, a comic strip for Peeta, and even a haiku for Rue! I even added a web based lesson that covers edible and medicinal plants (gotta put in some science!) There is also a section about the ethics of reality tv. I think Suzanne Collins was trying to get a message across about what is moral in that realm!
