Katniss Everdeen, ready to entice young minds to read The Hunger Games and LIKE IT!
Perhaps the Capitol loaned Katniss Everdeen an iPhone for the day? Ha! Love that my bathroom mirror is dirty. My husband was too embarassed for me to take my picture. He's no Peeta!
How do you make a Katniss Everdeen costume, you ask? My mother made the tunic out of a men's shirt and I paired it with leggings and my Uggs. The wig was loaned to me from a friend, but I put a headband around the front because the wig had some crazy bangs going on! The bow and arrow are from Walmart. Katniss Everdeen made an appearance in my classroom this week for our introduction to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I had so much fun dressing up like Katniss, but the wig was a bit itchy! My students think I've lost my mind, but I really think (and hope) that showing up to class as Miss Everdeen, District 12 Tribute, piqued their interest in the novel. They certainly have been paying attention, but maybe my threat to shoot them with my fake arrows if they nod off is the reason! Anywhoooo, here's my Katniss Everdeen costume!
Wow, you look great! Love the Katniss Everdeen costume :)

Why thank you, Celine! It was lots of fun! I wish I was as badass as Katniss, but one can dream!
ReplyDeleteYou must be a totally cool teacher! Love the Katniss costume. What did your students think of the book?
ReplyDeleteThank you! My students are loving the book! I taught the book last year, too, and this novel will captivate the interest of my students who generally loathe reading. I already have so many who have finished the novel, and we are only supposed to be on Chapter 13! They are eager to read Catching Fire, too, and I wish I had time to teach that novel as well! Suzanne Collins has made my job much, much easier because of The Hunger Games! There are so many teachable elements and they BEG to read it each day.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to but mockingjay
ReplyDeleteI was just searching for t-shirts for books and then started to search for Hunger Games t-shirts which led to a Katniss costume search and I found your blog! Looks like so much fun! I agree that your students must love you! I'm a teacher, too and I love books! So excited to find your blog. :)

Wondering what grade you teach? I bought the books for my 12 year old niece and wondering if it's too advanced for her? She's mature and very bright. Her own father died 3 years ago - I think she could really identify with Katniss!
