Are you looking for a good way to start off your Lord of the Flies reading unit? Look no further. This is a great way to give students some practice working in small groups. It also gets students into the mindset of survivors. This is how I start studying this superbly written text with my students.
Lord of the Flies Prereading Group Activity – Students get into small groups and pretend that they are trapped on an island without adults. They answer a series of questions and find either unity or dissension amongst their tribe. Students should complete this activity before reading Lord of the Flies.
