Good morning!

Here is the agenda for today:

-Work on your essays!!!!

-Now that you have your fourth source, you can update your works cited

USE YOUR TIME WISELY

Good morning!

Here is the agenda for today:

-You have the next two full class periods to begin working on your essays!!

Remember: your final draft will be due JUNE 8 (Period 3) and JUNE 10 (Period 2)

USE YOUR TIME WISELY!!

Good morning Honor's students!

Please take out your tablets and log on.

Here is the agenda for today:

-Research for fourth source for your essay.

Guidelines:

1. Do not pick the first source you come across, explore your options

2. No, I do not care what you say, Wikipedia is not a valid research base for supporting arguments. 

3. It might be useful to research interviews with Golding, psychological perspectives on Human Nature/research studies, or even read more in depth on the perspectives of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau.

4. I found three articles that might be of interest to you:

-The Independent: Lord of the Flies is still a blueprint for savagery
-The Stanford Prison Experiment
-William Golding's Lord of the Flies: Man's Capacity for Evil (Teen Ink)

Once you have found a source, READ THROUGH IT. Then fill in your organizer with supporting evidence from that article.

If you finish that you have two options (none of which include sitting on your phone/tablet doing useless things):

-Fill out the organizer with support from the novel
-Start working on tonight's homework

HW: Tonight, I would like you to write a rough draft of your thesis statement. This means you have to decide what position you are going to take on human nature.

Remember, a thesis does not use personal pronouns and it is specific- outline the reasons you are going to support with evidence in your essay.

Write it on the essay packet using one of the outlines provided.

Heads up: tomorrow you will be working on your rough drafts!

Good morning! 8 DAYS LEFT!!!

Turn in your works cited to the basket and turn on your tablets.

Here is the agenda for today:

-Read article #2/complete organizer
-decide on position

HW: Tonight, complete the organizer for LOTF by finding supporting evidence in the novel. Remember, you might want to consult your theme worksheets!
