Lord of the Flies Chapters 5-7 August 29 - Sept.2

Welcome to class! August 29, 2016 Do Now: In your journal, identify the type of figurative language used in each sentence. 1. “The laughter beat him cruelly…”(Golding 89). 2. “A flurry of wind made the palms talk…” (Golding 89). 3. “The sound of mock hunting, hysterical laughter, and real terror came from the beach” (Golding 92).

Characterization Round vs. Dynamic Take Notes in your journal. Round characters: Usually the main characters They undergo change Realistic & inconsistent Complex traits

Characterization Round vs. Dynamic Dynamic characters: Both dynamic and round characters undergo character development, but a dynamic character only refers to those traits that change over the time. A round character, on the contrary, defines the complex traits of the character. Characters can be both round and dynamic

Round Characters Your characterization chart contains the descriptions of round characters. Take out your chart and pick a character to study. Who are the flat characters of the novel (characters lacking complexity)?

Welcome to class! September 1, 2016 Do Now: Fold your gold papers in half and cut on the lines to make flaps (don’t cut all the way through). Have you used the RACE strategy before? How? When? Did it help?

RACE Pointers R Restate the question as a sentence. You are giving a mini answer at this point. Don’t rewrite the question as a question! Include the author name and the title of the work when restating the question.

RACE POINTERS A Answer the question more fully. Explain your thinking or provide context/background. Restating the question and answering the question can be eliminated for questions that only have 2 or 3 lines to write. The textual evidence and explanation are the priorities. Always use complete sentences!

RACE Pointers C & E When citing evidence, introduce the quote. Use phrases like, “The author states,” or “According to the text…” You can lead into the quote by providing context. For example: After Piggy takes the conch he says, “quote.” When explaining how the quote supports your answer, use phrases like, “This demonstrates…” or “Clearly the text shows…” The explanation is the most important part.

RACE Practice Question: Is Jack the bravest boy on the island? Explain. Cite your textual evidence. For example, “Quote” (Golding 82).

Homework Today is the last day for quiz corrections. We’ll finish chapter 7 next class. Check Skyward.

Homework Make sure you have handed in all assignments. Complete “Exercise 3: Proofreading.” We will act out chapter 8 next class. 

Welcome to class! Thursday, September 8, 2016 Do Now: Place your “Exercise 3: Proofreading” handout in the tray. Take out your notebook. Make three sections. Label the sections as follows: Simple Sentences Compound Sentences Complex Sentences

Simple Sentences A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb It expresses a complete thought.

Simple Sentences Examples: The baby cried for food. ^There is a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought. Professor Maple’s intelligent students completed and turned in their homework. ^ A simple sentence does not necessarily have to be short. It can have adjectives. In this case, there are two verbs “completed” and “turned in.” However, the sentence expresses one complete thought and therefore is a simple sentence. Megan and Max ate too much and felt sick. ^Although there are two subjects and two verbs, it is still a simple sentence because both verbs share the same subjects and express one complete thought.

Compound Sentences A compound sentence has two independent clauses. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone because it contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. Basically, a compound sentence contains two simple sentences. These independent clauses are joined by a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and a comma.

Compound Sentences Examples: The shoplifter had stolen clothes, so he ran once he saw the police. ^Both sides of the conjunction “so” are complete sentences. “The shoplifter had stolen clothes” can stand alone and so can “he ran once he saw the police.” Therefore, this is a compound sentence. They spoke to him in English, but he responded in German. ^This is also a compound sentence that uses a conjunction to separate two individual clauses.

Complex Sentences A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A dependent clause either lacks a subject or a verb or has both a subject and a verb that does not express a complete thought. A complex sentence always has a subordinator (as, because, since, after, although, when) or relative pronouns (who, that, which).

Complex Sentences Examples: After eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, Tim went to the gym to exercise. ^ The independent clause is ‘Tim went to the gym to exercise.” The subordinating clause before it is dependent on the main, independent clause. If one were to say “after eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory,” it would be an incomplete thought. Opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies that privilege male accomplishments. ^ The subject is “opinionated women” and the verb is “are given.” The first part of the sentence “opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies” is an independent clause that expresses a complete thought. The following “that privilege male accomplishments” is a relative clause that describes which types of societies.

Readers’ Theater We need to cast roles for Piggy, Ralph, Jack, Simon, Narrator, Boy 1, Boy 2, and Boy 3. Who is a risk-taker?

Happy Friday! September 9, 2016 Do Now: Hand in your homework to the tray. Take out your journal.

The Lord of the Flies What is the Lord of the Flies? What does it represent? Why did Golding choose this object for the title of his novel? Why do you think Simon is the one who sees it?

RACE Practice Remember to include the author and title at the beginning of your answer. Introduce your textual evidence. Use context to lead into your quote. For example: After Jack called the meeting, he challenged the kids, “Who thinks Ralph oughtn’t be chief?” (Golding 127). MLA citation=the author’s last name & page number (see above). Fully explain HOW your quote supports your answer. Use phrases like “this statement reveals” or “this quote demonstrates”

For which characters do we feel empathy? “If you aren't just brought up in your tribe but interact with other people either directly or vicariously, through journalism and literature, you see what life is like from other points of view and are less likely to demonize them or dehumanize others and more likely to empathize with them.” --Steven Pinker
