OBJ - Students will begin their study of Lord of the Flies by responding to prereading questions about central themes of the story and using an online tool to exchange thoughts, ideas and discuss, etc.
CWoD - STRIDENT
Students who need a few minutes to wrap up the Frankenstein test will have them - if you have not started the test yet, you will have to come take care of it during Indian Hour this week. I'm here during the second half as soon as I can get over here from lunch.
Today, as we move on to Lord of the Flies, you will need to access the Google doc I shared with you (if you don't have access, see me immediately). You will read the two quotes in the doc about good and evil and then respond to the 8 questions that follow. Your responses should be complete with thoughts, explanations, evidence, etc. You don't have to write an entire essay for each, but you should expect to write roughly a paragraph or so and use the quotes and events from your life to elaborate and support.
Make SURE you include your name or initials (and you can change the color of your font as well) with each response.
As the document grows, read some of what your classmates have to say as well - you don't have to agree ... in fact, in many cases you will not. It's ok to debate the points of others (politely) within your own responses. In fact, see the ideas and thoughts of others and reacting to them is much the point of the exercise.
Also, if you found having the e-book on your phone helpful with Frankenstein, you may want to take a moment to download a copy for Lord of the Flies. Unfortunately there are no free versions this time - but there are cheap ones available. It would be beneficial to get it downloaded before we need it in class.
There is a free one online - if you save it to your phone, the PDF should show up where ebooks usually do...
