1) Turn in your journal! If you didn’t turn it in today, I’d better have it by Friday!!!!!!!!
2) Informational materials: read and discuss pages 916-919 in the Literature book and complete the accompanying worksheet. (You’ll need to get this one from me if you missed it.)
3) Finish reading Chapter 8 in LotF (and begin Ch. 9).
4) Questions covering Chapters 7 and 8 of LotF are due next class.
*Our culminating assignment on Lord of the Flies will be an essay addressing the theme. Continue as you read to make note of characters and events that support Golding’s assertion that man is in his essence evil (or stated differently, there is a struggle between civilization and savagery within man).

1) Define the words illogical, cultivate, subtle, placid, and reliable. (Second block: I got confused and showed you the next slide with anguish, tilled, bias, analogy, and ambiguous.) Remember, this should be on the same page with the previous set of words and will be used on your final exam…if you don’t lose it. ;-l
2) Chapter 7 reading check: complete the following (checked for a classwork grade) Ch. 7 Reading Check LotF
3) We read the first half or so of Chapter 8 together. A juicy action chapter…
4) HW: Journals are due next class! Also, make sure you’re keeping up to date with your LotF questions.
Have a great weekend! Happy birthday to me! (haha)

Ch. 4 LotF (5/8-9) May 9, 2008
Posted by Mrs. Weatherly--Eng 12, Public Speaking! in due, tests/quizzes.add a comment
1) Literary terms PPT slide number 4: Define myth, satire, ballad, and romance. List these on the same paper with the previous three sets…and turn them in!
2) After some discussion of Simon’s allegorical significance as seen in his actions in chapter three, we (well, mostly I) read chapter 4, “Painted Faces and Long Hair” together.
3) Chapter 3 and chapter 4 questions (LotF Ch. 4 study questions) are due on Monday/Tuesday when we take the quiz on chapters three and four. Remember, the chapter three portion of the quiz will require you to synthesize the quotes that you found into a paragraph supporting the portrayal of Jack as being like an animal (these quotes may be direct or indirect characterizations of Jack. (You’ll turn you quote sheet in as part of the quiz grade.)
For the chapter four portion of the quiz, you will write a “diary” entry from the perspective of either Ralph, Jack, or Piggy as might have (though wasn’t, since they didn’t have paper 
) have been written the night after the missed ship/killed pig incident. Really, as long as you understand the chapter, you nearly won’t be able to go wrong. Make sure that the facts referenced from the conflict are accurate and that the emotions that your chosen character are logical… (and don’t use “texting” language)
Have a great weekend!!
p.s. First and fifth blocks will likely be extended on Monday due to the 11th grade English SOL test.
