We discussed expectations for the 4th 9 weeks. Students took time to explore new reads and add to their "To Read" lists. Students will read two novels from the AP lists provided on Classroom and will blog about at least one of the novels. Blog entry due dates are posted on the "Readers Blog" document on Classroom.
I introduced Lord of the Flies with a game called "I'm going to a party and bringing..." Three students served as leaders and discovered conflict when they each had different ideas of who should come to the party. The game was intended to mimic the social conditions of the island in the book.
We read an introduction to the author and book and prepared a survival kit. Students worked with their groups to determine which items were most essential.
Students should review chapters 1 & 2 before tomorrow and consider the question "How might this section of the book be considered 'paradise'?"
