Lesson Plan for Friday, April 11, 2014

Friday, April 11, 2014
1.  Silent sustained reading
            During SSR, come up row by row and get a copy of Lord of the Flies, write your name and the book number on the clipboard as it comes around.  Also, get out your reading log, fill it out, and have it ready to turn in at the end of SSR. I will also be passing back corrected work while you are reading.  Some of you will get your persuasive letter back, but some of you will not.  I am still working on them.
2.  Hand in:
             "Reading Log #13"
3.  Lord of the Flies Reading Schedule and Assignments (handout)
            I will review the reading schedule and written assignments for LOTF on the handout and answer any of your questions.
4.  Notice: 
            SAGE/Common Core Language Arts Assessment
            Next Tuesday and Wednesday we will be in the computer lab doing the writing portion of the SAGE Common Core Assessment.  That's why your first LOTF assignment is not due until Thursday of next week.
5.  Lord of the Flies/shared reading/essential questions/discussion
             What makes things fall apart?  What is the essential defect in society?
             I will read chapter 1 of LOTF aloud as you read along.  We will stop from time to time to discuss what is going on as well as to notice some of the symbolism and allusions that Golding is hinting at.  We will continue this on Monday as well,  but from that point on you will be reading independently according to the schedule I have given you.
