This unit will have students reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding. (Note: this is in addition to reading for enjoyment on Fridays) I passed out books last week, and we started reading this week. The first couple weeks run a little slow--their first reading quiz over Ch. 1-3 isn't until Monday Nov. 17. After that kids can plan on reading 3 chapters each week. I've provided a number of great resources for my students on Moodle and I've begun to familiarize kids with what is available:Study notes: Pink Monkey
LOF audio: YouTube
I don't get it: forum for student's questions
Check for Understanding: questions for pre- and post-reading
Today we watched a 15 minute video clip from the movie Cast Away. It's a fantastic connection to our novel and gives kids a visual image of the island as they read.
