Lesson Plan for Monday, April 21, 2014

Monday, April 21, 2014
1.  Hand in:
            LOTF Chap. 3 & 4 Copy and Comment
2.  Assign:
            LOTF Chap. 5 & 6 Word and Explanation
                 Choose a word that captures an important idea or concept in chapter 5 & 6.  The word itself doesn't necessarily need to be used in the chapters, but the idea is important to those chapters.  Then in at least 150 words of your own explain why you chose this word.  Use specific evidence (quotes from the novel) and elaboration to support your opinions and observations.
                   This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 23.
3.  Today's poem:
               "Directions to the Armorer" by Elder Olson
4.  Discussion and note taking on symbolism of the characters in LOTF:
               Copy down the chart and list of characters from the white board and let's figure out what each character might represent as a type of person in our world (the macrocosm), but then remembering that Golding's point in the novel is not about politics, but human nature, let's speculate about what each character might represent as a part of our own "human nature." (Take notes--this will be helpful to you for the assignment at the end of the novel.)
5.  Reread the passages about Roger, Jack, and Simon to reaffirm what aspects of human nature they represent.
6.  If more time remains, use the copied passages from the "LOTF Chap. 3 & 4 Copy and Comment" assignment for discussion purposes.
