Chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain

Why (our essential question(s) of the day; why we're here): How do Golding's characters interact with each other as they learn about their situation and try to deal with it? How do we problem solve?

How (how we're going to work to answer the ): I'm going to do a little bit of modeling and we're going to work in groups to explore key questions as we read, gathering evidence from our text.

What (what exactly we're going to do today; the agenda):

1. Book Love
2. Six Word Memoir Share (everyone else!)
3. Explore yesterday's Key Questions on your note-taking guide (I know we rushed the last part of the day)
4. Begin reading Chapter 2 (our goal is to get at least fifteen solid minutes of reading in. It may or may not happen.)

Homework:

• Read ALL of Chapter 2 of Lord of the Flies
• Explore the "Key Question" given to you in class on your Note-Taking/Discussion Guide
• Why can't Jack fulfill his duties as hunter at the end of the first chapter?
• How do the boys try to establish order on the island?
  (Yes, this question is repeated. Use information from chapter 2 to answer it as well!)
