LAST WEEK: All students met with Mr. Easton for a writing conference, setting goals for their first essay on Lord of the Flies. If you have NOT met with him, you risk losing those points! See him ASAP during your common free period. We've read through chapter four in LOTF, and this week will approach the end of the novel.

Monday

Reviewing MLA format for citing a magazine (or other periodical). Reading "How the Klan Got Its Hood," an essay on masks, and how the iconography of the American KKK came to be. We're reading for a) the author's argument and b) sentences of stylistic note.
HW: Reading chapter 6, "Beast from Air." Circle words, write questions, and look for the theme of evil. You should have that read for class on Wednesday. Finish reading today's Klan essay tonight.

Tuesday

What effect do masks have upon our behavior? We will finish our discussion of Jack's "camouflage" and why he must paint his face before hunting. We will move into a discussion of evil in chapter five, "Beast from Water." What is evil? Where is it? Why does it exist?
Hw: You should have finished chapter six for class tomorrow.
