(Be sure to keep this packet in class in case one of your tribe members is absent!)

WHO WILL SURVIVE?

We are going to begin reading the novel Lord of the Flies. While reading this novel, you will be placed in survivor teams. As a team, you will work together to try to win the ultimate prize. Points will be conducted depending on various tests or missions throughout the next few weeks. These tests/missions may be unit quizzes, word searches, crossword puzzles, trivia questions, short essays, artistic drawings etc. Working together is the key to survival. Each person in your group has an individual strength, and it is up to you to find it.

• You will receive a group grade and an individual grade. • If you choose to leave your group and work on your own, your points stat over • You can switch groups only if a unanimous vote determines that everyone in the team you will to switch to want you. (This can only happen after chapter 5.) • Your quiz and study guide scores are averaged together to earn points.

REMEMBER, WORKING TOGETHER IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL Here is your first mission: (Follow directions carefully!) As a team, decide on a group name. After deciding on a name, you must draw a picture on the front of your folder which represents your team. This is due____________. The team with the most creative team name will earn points as well as the team with the most creative picture. Do your best to find the artist in your group, and put your heads together to come up with the most creative team name. (Hint: it usually helps to relate your team name to the book in some way.)

GOOD LUCK!

SUMMARIZE LORD OF THE FLIES Summarize each chapter as you read. This will help you to study for the quizzes, review for the test, and complete the study guide. Each summary should be at least one paragraph (8 – 10 complete sentences). The summaries will be turned in on the day that you take the test _______________________ along with the character analysis chart. One way to summarize any chapter with conflict in it is to use the SWBS method: Somebody, Wanted, But, So (you can substitute other coordinating conjunctions for the “but”). Example: In the book Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, scientist Henry Jekyll wanted to use a persona to engage in his wicked impulses, but the persona ended up taking over his identity, so Jekyll finally gave in and eventually died as a result.

Literary Analysis for Lord of the Flies Understanding Characterization Characterization is the act of creating and developing a character. A writer can use direct characterization when stating or describing a character’s traits. Indirect characterization is when an author shows a character’s personality through his or her actions, thoughts, feelings, and words, or through another character’s observations and reactions. Indirect characterization relies on the reader to put together the clues in order to figure out the character’s personality. It is important to remember that characterization relies upon the character’s traits and not upon him or her physical appearance. Complete the chart below with each character’s physical description, the traits he demonstrates at the beginning of the novel, and changes (if any) the character exhibits as he moves through the story.

Character Physical Description

Early Traits Changes

Ralph

Jack

Piggy

Simon

Roger

Understanding Symbolism Symbolism is the narrative technique used to give significance or deeper meaning to certain people or objects, which represent some other figure. For example, a rose can be a symbol of love. Depending upon the color of the rose, it may suggest a particular kind of love (i.e. Red roses symbolize passion, pink roses are for friendship, or yellow roses represent jealousy). What does each of the following items from Lord of the Flies represent on a symbolic level? Symbol Meaning The conch shell_________________________________________________ Piggy’s specs___________________________________________________ The island ____________________________________________________ The “Scar” ____________________________________________________ The Beast_____________________________________________________ Lord of the Flies _________________________________________________ The signal fire __________________________________________________
