- The main focus of today's class was the Final Utopia essay. The students had several small assignments to work on; however, anytime they finished the current assignment, they were expected to work on their Final Utopia Essay. The goal was to have a good start on the essay outline by the end of the period.
- We started with four pages of grammar. We discussed Double & Incomplete Comparisons (pages 203-204), and Using Good & Well, Bad & Badly Correctly (pages 205-206)
- We then discussed the requirements of the Final Utopia Essay again.
- I put the essay terms up on the board so the students could finish copying them down.
- The students then had about 30 minutes to work specifically on the essay.
- At about 9:10, the students went to the textbook office to get the Lord of the Flies book.
- I passed out the Lord of the Flies packet, and the students completed the Anticipation Guide on page 1.
- I then showed a trailer for the movie, and had students make predictions about the book.
- Homework: Read Lord of the Flies Chapters 1-4, Work on the Final Utopia Essay-Rough Draft DUE Monday May 16; VFA #29-30
