We started off the day discussing the main ideas of Chapter 2 in Lord of the Flies (leadership qualities, the role of the conch, the purpose of the fire, the division of tasks, etc.). Students then worked on corresponding questions and continued to read Chapter 3 silently. Towards the end of class, I handed back your in-class synthesis essays from our short story unit. I went over the writing rubric with you, and I also went over some general tips for essay-writing. At the very end of class, we watched a short video by Robb Nash, who will be presenting at our school tomorrow.
Reminders:
- Chapter 2 questions: due Thursday, March 26, 2015
