Today:
I introduced the novel Lord of the Flies.
We took notes on William Golding:
Raised to be a scientist
drawn to Anglo-Saxon poetry
Joined the royal navy in 1940
British
Published novel in 1954.
Introduced concept of good and evil. Discussed where does evil come from. Are we born good or evil, or are we influenced by things in our lives? We will be having a class debate on this topic on Friday.
A Block: We read ch 1.
We looked at the importance of light and darkness in the novel and examined how each is used. Please be aware of this as we read.
Piggy is an awful nickname. We shared bad nicknames, including some of mine growing up.
C Block: Journal Prompt: If you could only pack 10 things in a suitcase, to be used for one year on a deserted island, what would you pack. For each, please explain the significance.
We broke into small groups and you decided on your ten master objects that you as a group will use in future journal prompts.
We crashed a plane and wrote about it in our journals. :-)
