Honors 11- Friday, November 4

Objective: How do symbols help us better understand the themes from "The Lord of the Flies?"

Here's what we did in class today:
1- Took a quiz on chapter 6
2- Broke into small groups.
  • Each group was assigned a symbol: Piggy's glasses, the conch, the fire, The beast, Piggy, Ralph, and Jack.
  • Each group became an expert on that symbol, creating a visual for the rest of the class to understand. 
  • Each group taught the rest of the class about their symbol
Homework: 
1-Read chapter 7 and 8. 
2- Write a one page, double-space personal response (using mla format--times new roman, 12 font) describing your reaction to the boys' digression in the novel. Why are things not working for them as a society? Focus on using specific examples from the text. DO NOT SUMMARIZE THE TWO CHAPTERS OR YOU WILL BE DOCKED. Remember that I want YOUR ideas, not a summary.
