Lord of the Flies, Day 3

How accurate do these maps seem? I chose these two because they might help you visualize the island without giving away too much of the plot. The originals are here and here.

Today students:

• Went to one another's blogs and read the 5 questions over Chapter 2 of LOTF
• Chose any 3 questions and wrote 3-4 (or more)-sentence responses
• Discussed their responses with their classmates
• Viewed and discussed a British video giving tips for writing an essay on LOTF - all 6 videos can be found here.
• Viewed and discussed two one-minute videos from a series called 60second
• Viewed the first 30 seconds of a Spark Notes video on LOTF but decided it might give away too much of the plot and decided to watch it some other time
• Chose to continue discussing LOTF rather than using some class time to review for tomorrow's quiz over the Rivers of Texas (& the Gulf of Mexico)

Assignment for Wednesday

• Study for the Quiz over the Rivers of Texas (& Gulf of Mexico)
• Read Ch. 3 of LOTF - "Huts on the Beach" & post 5 good discussion questions on your blog
• Be noticing how the relationship between Ralph & Jack develops in each of the first 3 chapters - we will analyze & write on this on Wednesday.
