Lord of the Flies Language Arts Unit (High School Semester 1)
Description
In this unit, you will read William Golding's 1954 dystopian novel, Lord of the Flies, and contemplate human nature in the face of unknown, harsh, or threatening circumstances. As you read the novel, you will study Golding's use of several literary elements, including setting, theme, characterization, archetypes, imagery, irony, and tone. This unit also covers dependent and independent clauses, types of phrases, and the characteristics of film adaptations. In the final lesson, you will develop a thesis and outline and then write a literary analysis.
A challenging language arts program with user-friendly manuals (written directly to the student), Moving Beyond the Page continues to provide detailed and involved book studies, step-by-step exercises, thought-provoking writing assignments, and broad-based literature selections. The nine units collectively provide a one-year English/Language Arts credit. Each unit as well as each semester concludes with a final exam. The pace is one lesson per day, with the expectation of spending 1 1/2 - 2 hours per lesson (includes reading and writing work). Although each unit includes parent overview with answers/talking points (could be easily removable), each Unit Worktext is consumable, providing background information, literary instruction, discussion questions, vocabulary exercises, worksheets, and graphic organizers as well as detailed lessons and assignments. Students are expected to keep a journal as they progress through the course. Books vary from 130 to 295 pgs, spiral-bound. ~ Janice
