~Ancient Rome
~gladiators
~a few Latin words
~Roman names
~anthems
~violence as a form of entertainment
~reality TV
~morality
~human rights
~government control
~uprisings
~alcoholism
~plants-edible versus nonedible
~plants for healing purposes

~character studies
~heroines
~hallucinations
~war
~compare and contrast the book and the movie
I know I am leaving something out. I will update later.
We also made up our own type of reaping game. I wrote down a lot of discussion questions on different colored index cards. They were placed in a big, clear bowl and drawn out one at a time to be answered. This was a real hit!
Here are a few resource links.
