English 11: Read chapter 1 of Lord of the Flies, write poems

I collected poem number 2 for editing today.

Wed: Poem 3
Thurs: Poem 4

Be sure to use your response journal as a source of inspiration. Follow the criteria. All poems must be typed. You must hand in all drafts with the good copies on Monday.

As you read the novel, look for examples where Golding questions the guise of civilization. There are subtle examples throughout the text. We are reading chapter 1 slowly in order to point out the numerous examples of foreshadowing.

What is Golding's attitude toward civilization so far? How do you know?

Find examples. Be prepared to explain them.
