Shipwrecked in Outer Space - Began Lord of the Flies: Vocabulary - Assigned Characters - Began Reading


Students today:

  • Did an excellent job of ranking and discussing the 16 options in "Shipwrecked in Outer Space"
    • Attempted to reach a unanimous decision for each step after arguing vigorously when their ranking differed from a classmate's.
    • Demonstrated excellent logical reasoning in defending their rankings
    • Were so thorough we didn't have time to finish; you can see what they accomplished here.
  • Discussed Vocabulary for LOTF
  • Were given the names of several characters in LOTF and chose a part to play as they read and discuss the novel. 

    • Wingboy = Ralph
    • Jaycolt = Piggy
    • 12345 = Jack Samneric
    • Teacherman = Simon
  • Began working together on a sheet to help Piggy (the character, not the student playing the character) improve his grammar.
  • Read the first several pages in character
