F-BAND: LOTF CHAPTER 7


Post your reader responses here: Choose a line or two from Chapter 7 and explain why it stands out to you. Does this line shock you, confuse you, or seem important in some way? Does it make you ask a question? Can  you make a connection to your life or another text? Does the language stand out to you for some reason? What is this line saying about the characters in the novel and about people or the world, in general?

Then, respond to a classmate's post. Agree or disagree, but make sure that you add something new-- a new idea, a reference to another part of the book. Include textual evidence as you push the conversation forward. Ask more questions to keep the dialogue going...and remember-- this assignment is all about thinking/analysis.

F-BAND: LOTF CHAPTER 6


Please post three questions that you'd like to discuss in class on Monday (after your vocabulary quiz). Please try to root your questions in the text. Choose lines that stand out to you, look at word choice, or question why Golding would create certain characters, conflicts, or scenarios. 

For example, some good questions from Chapter 5 might be: 


- Why did Golding name this chapter “Beast from Water”? What is he referring to? Is this title significant at all?

- As the boys are discussing their fears, Simon says, “Maybe there is a beast...Maybe the beast is only us” (p. 89). What does he mean by this?
