1- Students wrote down times they were afraid and as a class we compiled a list of how fears affect us as humans--
- frozen, paralyzed by fear
- survival mode
- fight or flight
- selfishness kicks in--we save ourselves first
- Go against our values or what we think we would normally do
- denial
- panic
- irrational thinking
- look to others for protection
2- Next we watched two scare tactics videos to confirm if our list of human behavior was, in fact, accurate. It was.
3- We made a list of the various things the boys on the Island are afraid of--
- Beast
- Not getting rescued
- themselves and the other boys
- losing power (jack and ralph)
- becoming savage
4- Students did an in class FRQ "How does fear affect the boys on the Island?"
focus on a strong thesis and analysis not summary. Analysis is the how, why, or insight and summary is the what. So if you are simply telling us what happened, you are summarizing. If you are telling is why or how it happened and providing insight or commentary, you are analyzing. If you were absent, please make this up by Wednesday, November 11th.
