Today, I introduced the novel Lord of the Flies. We discussed the title (breaking down lord and flies to find meaning). We also defined and discussed the terms "connotation (positive and negative)" and "denotation".
We then reviewed the 5 w's of Golding's life (where he was born, when, interests, experiences) and his philosophy about man (born evil and self-centred; society is what controls him; without society, he will do bad; with certain societies he will have permission to do bad).
We also went to the library and got the novel. If you were not here, go and pick it up.
