Today's class focused around the essential questions presented by Lord of the Flies, "Is humanity basically good?" and "What happens to cause a society to break down?" Some of the ideas we focused on included microcosms, utopias, dystopias, and civilization. After discussing adverbs and looking over a reference packet that the students received outlining many baisc grammatical prinicples, we looked in detail at chapter five of Lord of the Flies, and saw why it is the turning point of the novel as a whole.
Homework: Students should study their Words of the Day and review chapters 4-5 of Lord of the Flies for the quiz that they will take tomorrow (November 30th).
AHSGE Reading Review
In today's review class, students spent time on USATest Prep, a service that is offered through the school that gives extra practice for the graduation exam. Several seniors will be taking the exam next week, so students created accounts that would allow them to access the practice service from any computer with an internet connection.
