Happy Friday! After vocab presentations today, we began talking about characterization and the idea that all of the characters in the novel also serve to represent larger ideas about society and human nature, as well as government. We began this by doing an in-class group activity in which we evaluated the leadership skills of Ralph and Jack in the areas of food, shelter, safety, and activity/purpose. We collected specific textual evidence and quotes and recorded them on a worksheet that we will use next week. If you were absent, please download the worksheet (both sides), complete only the "Survival of the Fittest" one and bring in both ready to use for Monday. No reading assignment this weekend, just make sure you have read through Chapter 6 by Monday. Have a great weekend!
