DAY 04 - CYCLE 05 - SEMESTER 02: 02-16-10

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:
You received a set of questions about Lord of the Flies

IN CLASS TODAY:

You took a quiz on Unit 6 vocabulary and the first two chapters of Lord of the Flies.  Mostly, we stuck with basics of plot and character, but were starting to get to the more interesting questions about why Piggy is unliked, about Ralph and Jack's qualities and deficits as leaders.  Take a look at the questions you received today for more worthwhile considerations.

Tomorrow, we resume Macbeth and Unit 7 vocabulary, and we really need to pick up the pace!
CLASS NOTES:

Notes for today's class may be found here.

HOMEWORK:

1. Continue reading in Lord of the Flies.  Our next quiz and discussion day will be Wednesday, February 24th, when you should be through page 94 (chapter 5).
2. Review scenes 5-7 in Macbeth and come prepared to discuss them.  Look at yesterday's blog post for links to performances, and if you feel especially clueless, be sure to watch the bottom animated version to fill you in.  Tomorrow, we need to head into Act 2.
3. Bring your vocabulary book AND your literary terms handout (given last week).
