Good morning/afternoon students, and welcome back to our Lord of the Flies unit. Today, we'll be taking a closer look at one of the most interesting characters in the book - Jack.
Let's start by discussing Jack's character and his actions throughout the novel. What do you think about Jack? Do you like him or dislike him? Why? Please share your thoughts and insights with the class. I will record some key points on the whiteboard as we discuss.
Now let's talk about power dynamics. We know that power is an essential theme in the novel, and it greatly affects the characters' behavior. Can you give examples of how power dynamics are displayed in the book? How do the characters view and use power? Share your insights with the class.
Now it's time for a group activity. Form groups of four, and each group will receive a handout with questions on Jack's character and power in the novel. Please work together and discuss your thoughts and answers. You have 8 minutes.
Now, let's hear from each group about their findings and insights. What are some common points from the discussions? What are some differences? You have 2 minutes to share your findings.
As an assignment, I would like you to write a short analysis of Jack's character and his use of power in the novel. You should aim to write 150-200 words. Remember to submit your work on time and follow the guidelines provided.
That concludes our lesson on Jack in Lord of the Flies. Thanks for your participation, and I look forward to discussing more about the novel in our next class.
