- Annotate the Psychological and Biographical Lens handouts with this question in mind: How does each lens help you understand Lord of the Flies? You will use the annotations tomorrow (Thursday, January 10) during a Socratic Seminar about the lenses. (Note: you should also annotate the anthropological lens if you have not yet done so.)
- Seek out peer feedback on your thesis statement & supporting statements (mini-theses). Here are questions to guide the feedback.
Is the thesis
statement clear to the peer reader? Is it stated in a precise, sophisticated
manner? Does it succeed in capturing an essential meaning of the work as a
whole? Then, has the student also written a sentence that clearly and
reasonably states how a character contributes to the meaning of the work as a
whole? Is there also a sentence that
clearly and reasonably states how a visual motif contributes to the meaning of
the work as a whole? In your view can each of the statements be supported by citing
and explaining evidence from the book?
- Work on the first draft of your William Golding letter. The first drafts is due on Friday (January 11). Here's a link to the assignment.
