Read, Plan & Craft

Use the novel and study guide to examine how Katniss evaluates limited resources and difficult choices. Discuss how public presentation shapes the way characters are perceived, and support interpretations with specific passages.

Plan and make a paracord bracelet using the kit instructions. Measure the intended fit, select a pattern and colors, follow the knotting sequence, and reflect on what you changed when the result did not match your plan. Explain your design choices in a short written response alongside a reading reflection about resourcefulness or cooperation.

The bracelet project is a practical-design extension, not a replica of an item from the novel. Craft bracelets are not climbing or load-bearing safety equipment.

Educator & Craft Notes

The novel contains violence, death, coercion, and other mature themes. Educator review and guided discussion are recommended. Follow the kit’s instructions and supervise any cutting or finishing steps; adults should handle any heat-based finishing if the instructions call for it. Keep cord away from necks and small children, and check bracelet fit before wearing. Reading-response paper, writing tools, and any additional tools specified by the kit instructions are supplied separately.
