Today we had a quiz on Chapters 1-4 of Lord of the Flies. I then gave time for the class to silent read Chapters 5 and 6. After that, I demonstrated two good examples of short story synthesis essays. I highlighted the importance of structure, the integration and explanation of quotes, the formality of language, and the use of connecting words. To finish off class, I handed out a worksheet on evidence of conflict in Lord of the Flies.
Reminders:
- Finish Chapters 5 and 6 for Monday, March 30, 2015
- Library time to work on election brochures: Monday, March 30, 2015
