British Lit--Friday, Nov 22

Objective: Understanding Lord of the Flies by Acting in the classroom.

Students showed an understanding of the novel--themes, plot, character, analysis--by participating in a call-in radio show. This was considered an assessment.

If you were absent, please write a one page, double space paper analyzing pretending to be one of the six characters--see photo. Directions--pick one character and explain in first person (write it as if you ARE the character) your view of what happened on the Island? Why it happened? Why you did what you did? Your thoughts? Where you are now that you're off the Island. Etc.

ALSO--Students recieved the Jekyll and Hyde text--you need to come pick that up from me OR you can click to print text and print it off yourself--(34 pages.) You must read and annotate this by Tuesday, December 2nd.

When students ask me how much to annotate, I remind them that reading this novella is the homework for the next ten days! Therefore, I expect that you put time into your connections.

What kinds of things can you annotate for?
  • personal connections
  • connections or reminders to other movies/books we've read in class/books you're reading on your own
  • quotes that you think hold weight--quotes that describe Evil or the nature of Men
  • insights that you gained while reading
