1. Submit Homework: Turn in your current event reflection from this weekend.

2.  Are big companies like the Capital in the Hunger Games?

What is this Apple advertisement from 1984 trying to tell us? How does it relate to the Hunger Games?

3. Today's mission: Your mission is to create a map of Panem.  You must use geometric shapes of which you can calculate the area.   Remember, the Hunger Games is set in a futuristic version of the United Sates, so your map should be created within the outline of North America. Please use this map as your starting point. You can use this map to help you locate each district or you can choose find another map on the internet.

Tomorrow you're going to have to calculate the area of each district according to their size on your map so make sure you are using shapes that you will be able to calculate.
