Literature Circle: Chapters 9-10

Assessment:You will be assessed according to:

The extent to which you contribute to group participation and discussion. The quality of your ideas on your Lit Circle Notes

Directions:Each activity day you will assume the different roles assigned to text previously read to complete each packet.

Roles:Discussion Director: Your role demands that you identify the important aspects of your assigned text, and develop questions and concerns you have about the novel. You will also answer the questions that are asked of you on the sheet provided. Focus on the big ideas in the text and your reaction to those ideas. You are responsible for facilitating discussion when questions are answered in class.

Illustrator: Your role is to draw what you read. That might mean drawing a scene as a cartoon-like sequence, or drawing one important scene so readers can better understand the text. Use notes to explain how your drawing relates to the text. Label your drawings so we know who the characters and places are. Make your drawing on the back of this page or on a separate sheet of paper if necessary.

Connector: Your role is to connect what you are reading with what you are studying. You can connect the story to the author, your own life, news events, political events, or popular trends. Another important source of connections is books you’ve already read. The connections should be meaningful to you.

Summarizer: Prepare a brief summary of the text. If it helps you to organize the information, consider making a numbered list or a timeline. (Include some but not necessarily all of the following: What are the most important events in the section you read? What makes them so important? What effect do these events have on the plot or the other characters? What changes in the plot, character, tone or mood did you notice when you read?)

Mock Trial

Building on what we learn at the Lit Circle, we will have a Mock Trial for the boys on the island; focusing specifically on who is responsible for Simon’s death, if anyone. In order to accomplish this, we will be dividing the class into three groups, Group Jack, Group Ralph, and Judges.

Group Jack: This group should look at the entire time on the island from Jack’s point of view.

Group Ralph: This group should look at the entire time on the island from Ralph’s point of view.

Judges: This group will act as an audience of adult judges – parents, police, and other authority figures - and will ask questions of Group Jack and Group Ralph to pass judgment on them. The judges will prepare questions for the two boys. In order to come to a fair judgment, what do the judges need to find out? How can you look beyond the boys’ personalities and leadership styles to find an accurate depiction of what happened on the island? You must create questions that elict both objective and subjective answers.Judges will give out punishments – and possibly rewards – based on their findings. You may be creative in crafting consequences for each boy and may also consider making recommendations so that, in the future, society at large can avoid another destruction of a civilized group.

Questions to consider for Groups Jack and Ralph: What happened? What events does each boy have firsthand knowledge of? What events did each boy only hear about? Which actions will each boy defend the most emphatically? What will each boy say about the others?

Each student will be responsible for writing a short, handwritten, one-page paper in which they explain what Ralph and Jack represent and why.

Lord of the Flies Socratic Seminar 11 & 12

In preparation for the Socratic Seminar, study the following questions. Each question should be answered thoroughly with textual support and personal insights. After you develop each question, devise other questions to pose to the entire class.

As with every Socratic Seminar, these are the rules: Be present and on time. Be prepared with book(s), notes, study guides, etc. One person talks at a time. Pay strict attention to each person and he/she speaks. You will not receive a

point for repeating somebody else’s information. You will lose a point if you talk to your neighbor, doodle, make faces at classmates, etc.

You MUST participate!!! Failure to participate will result in failure of this assignment. Simply saying, “I agree,” will not earn you a point. You must explain and expand on all ideas. Use textual support.
