Will completed his reading of the novel,“Lord of the Flies”. In class, he answered comprehension questions about the final chapter. We had an excellent discussion about the theme, symbolism and conflicts in the story. He did a great job explaining the irony involved in the final fire that resulted in the boys’ rescue. On Wednesday, Will is going to have a final assessment on the novel. I have returned all his comprehension questions for him to look over in preparation for the assessment. Besides basic questions about the story, this assessment will also include a few questions on the theme, conflicts and symbolism in the story. Will has done a fabulous job on this unit, and I feel he is very prepared to demonstrate his understandings.
