11.19 - Beasts in the Jungle and on the Beach

At the beginning of class today, I handed out the root/prefix list for our set 6 words. Everyone then had fifteen minutes to work on this sheet (what isn't completed in class should be completed for homework).

Set 6 Roots and Prefixes

We then returned to looking at the representation of the beast in Lord of the Flies. We reviewed our discussion around the beast from water and the beast from air. Working with partners, everyone then looked at the beast in the jungle and the beast on the beach. Analysis of these different perspectives on the beast were tracked on the representations of the beast sheet.

Upon looking at each of these four scenes that feature the beast, everyone responded to the final question on this sheet:

Based on your understanding of the three representations of the beast, what does the beast represent in the story?
Explain your response by referring to the different representations of the beast.

Homework:

If you did not do so in class, complete the set 6 roots and prefixes sheet (we'll have the quiz over these words on Friday)

Finish responding to the question about what the beast represents in Lord of the Flies.
