The purpose of this 2014 qualitative study was to examine the efficacy of using The Hunger Games (2008) by Suzanne Collins to teach the concept of social justice to my students in a pre-International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Crossland High School in Temple Hills, MD, a suburb of Washington, DC. The study was developed in response to the adoption of new curricular guidelines, the Common Core State standards, and it sought to explore how well the critically acclaimed novel could address the objectives and goals set by the standards regarding social justice education. This project was influenced, in part, by the scholarship of theoretician Paulo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, where he asserts, "Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferals of information" (72). As opposed to a lecture-style system, a concept Freire refers to as "banking", in which the instructor deposits knowledge into the students' brains, and the silent recipients store the information for later regurgitation, the study encourages learners to take ownership of their education by engaging in meaningful dialogue, and, subsequently, teaching, just as much as they are learning. The findings of this study report student responses to the social justice unit in which we read and discussed The Hunger Games and conducted hands-on activities. The study paves the way for further inquiry with a larger number of participants and various English instructors in IB high school programs.
