Pre-AP
The main question that Lord of the Flies presents to its reader is, "Is a civilized man capable of savagery." After discussing predicate adjectives and predicate nominatives, the class went through a powerpoint set of very nice art pieces depicting scenes of beautiful building, budding plants, and loving parents. After asking the students to guess who the artist was who painted these works, students found out that it was not who they thought it was at all. (You'll have to ask the students who the artist was to find out!)
We finished out the class by examining chapter six of Lord of the Flies and seeing the society that the boys set up on the island beginning to break down.
Homework: Students should continue reading chapters 6-8 of Lord of the Flies. Their next quiz will be on Tuesday, December 6. Students should also review their notes on predicate adjectives and nominatives.
AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we finished up our standards review in preparation for the graduation exam. We also began a unit on American education, examining its flaws and successes. We ended the class with a challenge for the students to take a greater role in their educational acquisition.
