| Description: | Our small 12th grade class read Lord of the Flies by William Golding. We would like to do a video conference for 90 minutes to discuss the book with another class or group of students. We would like to share our impressions about the characters, themes and symbols. Before we connect, please have the students post to my wallwisher: http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/lotf2010 When we connect, we will begin by having students share what they posted. (Hopefully, this will break the ice and allow them to feel more comfortable and not so nervous.) Next, we will play a game called "Guess the Wordle". (I will send all of this to you once created). Then, we will discuss how natural disasters (such as the earthquake in Haiti) often mirror Lord of the Flies. We will watch 2 video clips of shows that mirror Lord of the Flies (LOST and Cast Away). We will then do a cell phone activity (make sure they bring them to class that day), the SMARTBoard activity, and close with the Jeopardy game. |
