Symbol Posters & Unit Test


I am excited to see everyone's Symbol posters tomorrow, and this is your chance to let your creativity shine through! Some reminders about this project which are already on your criteria sheet:

  • 3 quotes said BY the character you chose from LOTF
  • 3 quotes said ABOUT or TO this character
  • Write up which includes why you think this symbol is best representative of your character. Also include in your write up, the questions from one of the 4 domains: Leadership, Followership, Humankind and Society (or a combination of domains)
  • Original and creative symbol and neatness count:)
Posters are due right at the START of class, no last minute glue and cutting jobs, since we have to begin our Vocab & the Unit Test right away and you  need enough time to write these!!!

For the test, know the symbolism for objects, people etc. Also know the plot and character qualities of the boys. There will also be some quotes for you to identify the speaker such as "Didn't they care about the fire? What about the ship that had passed by?"  (Ralph).  Vocab quiz will be only words from chapters 6-12 plus a few of your OWN vocab words and definitions:)

Tuesday will be the in class essay, where you will have the class to write an essay about one topic from a list that will be given to you that day. I will give you some hints on Monday about possible topics and thesis ideas however.

Wednesday we start watching the Lord of the Flies movie:)  Thursday will be review for our English 11 final exam - and that will be on the last day of classes for this semester, Friday Jan.25th.

Lets focus and try your best on all activities this week, you have learned so much and this is your chance to showcase your learning!

This will be our last week of classes - its coming to an end so soon:(
