Online This will be an asynchronous course and all the materials that are needed
Activity will be provided at the beginning of the course. For the lesson, the teacher
will record a video lecture that explains some of the conclusions that can be
taken from William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. The lecture should discuss
themes that are not present in the activity that the students are going to
complete later in the lesson.

The students will also be asked to complete a worksheet that allows them
to explain the three major themes that hold the greatest amount of
importance in their opinion. The template for this worksheet will be in their
student folders for easy accessibility. After the students complete this
worksheet on their own, they should contact three of their classmates and
hold and online discussion about the answers from their worksheets and
the details that they believed were crucial to the development of the novel.

After the students finish watching the video lecture, complete their theme
worksheet, and their group discussion, they will head over to
www.nobelprize.org where they will play the Lord of the Flies game. The
game is designed to jog their memories and help them to recall different
occurrences that took place as they completed their reading.

After the students have finished the Lord of the Flies game, they should
have a more in depth understanding of the different themes that occurred
through the text. To make sure that they completed the activity, I will have
the students send in a screenshot of their final score which must be an 80%
or better.
