10H
Following this you will find the prompt for the written portion of your LOF test.  Just to even things out, you will have a significant amount of time in class on Wed/Thurs.  Rather than making it due specifically on those days, I will leave it open until Friday to allow both Wed block and Crystal Bridges attendees time to focus and not rush.  There will be a Google Classroom Assignment for submission.  This should be short and sweet.  I would recommend setting a 45 minute timer (AP time limit) so you do not write a book.  I picture this as a 3-4 paragraph essay, including intro and conclusion.  If you find yourself writing and writing and writing, you need to self edit, or find someone else to work with.  Focus on the essential.  Make a point, make it relevant, support it, explain it, leave it with something bigger than the book/character/you.

Choose one of the following characters (Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, Roger, the Littluns) and explain who they symbolize as a member of society. In other words, who are the Simons, the Jacks, the Ralphs, etc. of the world? You should address both their place in society as well as their personality type. Make sure your evidence is specific.

Today we had our quiz over chapters five through seven, if you missed be sure to get a pass from me to make up the quiz. We also went over themes in the novel that can be found on the google classroom. Make sure you are taking note when you see one or more occur in the novel. How many phonies have you counted so far?
