Pre-AP
In today's class we analyzed chapter 10 of Lord of the Flies as the point in the book where society finally begins to break down completely. It's significant to the overall action of the novel because the showdown between Jack and Ralph (symbolizing savagery and civility) that was set up in chapter eight comes to a violent conlusion. From this point in the novel, things go from bad to worse.
We also reviewed thesis writing in today's class, and students received a worksheet that they should finish for homework. A copy of this worksheet can be found by clicking here.
Homework: Students should finish Lord of the Flies and review the action of the last part of the novel. They should also finish the "Thesis Activity" worksheet and turn it in at the beginning of class tomorrow. Finally, students should review the Tone worksheet that they received in class yesterday.
