Today, the warm up consisted of a free write exploring the possible reasons why Golding chose his characters to be all boys. Why didn't he have any female characters? Why, specifically, did he choose to write his characters as young children rather than teen or adult males? We discussed and evaluated these possible reasons to prepare for some class activities for next week. We looked at a funny cartoon that I found yesterday, read through pages 52 and 53 of the novel and analyzed the conversation the boys are having in this chapter, and what it might mean. After analyzing some important quotes in the novel and talking a bit about characterization, we briefly went over the leadership worksheets that we've been working on, and will use these for an activity on block day. I will be collecting those sheets at the end of the week so be sure you bring them to class finished next time we meet. During class today, I also handed out a sheet on Kohlberg's Levels of Moral Development that we will be discussing on block day. There is an assignment on the back that we will be completing in class.
For block day this week, make sure you have read Chapter 7.
Please remember to post your blog assignment response by Friday, Sept.19!
