Honors English 10: Today we reviewed chapter 12. Then, students had time to work on their storyboard or novel reviews.

HOMEWORK: chapter storyboards and novel reviews


English 10: Today we reviewed chapter 5 and then started working on the letters home project. The letters home project is due at the end of class tomorrow. Here are the directions for the assignment:

Lord of the Flies “Letters home” activity

You and a partner are going to choose any character that we have met in Lord of the Flies. You are then going to imagine that you are that character. Using what you know about that character’s personality and their desires on the island, you are going to write a letter from that character’s perspective to their family. Think of it like a letter they would then put in a bottle and fling into the sea with hopes that it will return to their home country of England. In the letter you should include:

·         Their overall feelings about the island
·         Their overall feelings about the other boys
·         What that character might think they do well
·         What that character might think they need to do better
·         How this character envisions (sees) their fate ending up
·         Anything else you think this character would want to add
·         Use at least one quote from chapters 3-6 to support, but make sure it still reads like a letter, not                      an essay
·         Should be at least 1-page long

It should be clear in your letter that you clearly understand that character’s personality and emotional state. I encourage you to use more quotes from the text if you like. BE CREATIVE! Have fun with this!
