Will continued working with theme today. He read four passages and identified the theme and explained his rationale. We reviewed his questions for Chapter 7 of “Lord of the Flies”. He was able to state literally the actions that occurred but needed assistance thinking about the deeper meaning. We discussed the fact that a character's actions and thoughts can symbolize deeper meaning in literature. We also began discussing foreshadowing and the role it plays in Golding’s work. For homework, Will is going to read Chapter 8 and answer comprehension questions.
