Friday, November 18th

Pre-AP
Postmodernism and deconstruction dominated today's class discussion.  Beginning our notes for William Golding's Lord of the Flies (students are responsible for obtaining their OWN copies of this book!!), we took notes on postmodernism as it manifested itself after WWII.  To ensure a complete understanding of LOTF, students need to have a firm grasp of postmodernism and postmodern writing.

Homework: Students should study their notes on postmodernism and begin reading Lord of the Flies.  They should have chapters 1-3 finished by Tuesday, November 22nd.
