Did you like Wall-E, the Hunger Games, Divergent, or Games of Fire series?

From the Goodreads.org webpage, "Lord of the Flies, with its high-stakes battle between chaos and control, will engage students in their own explorations about human nature and the myriad issues we face today." 

Readers will make comparisons to other popular books and movies that have a similar theme of survival. 

Raders will engage  in the critical reading, writing, thinking, and speaking  required by many language standards. 

Readers will analyze the characters in the story.

Readers will look at several passages to discuss the literary devices that the author used  to develop the story. 

My method of analyzing this story is to focus on a few key events and topics throughout the novel. I believe that by studing a few topics carefully that students will find the text easier to read and also walk away with a good understanding. My goal is to help the reader make connections with events in the story to modern events and other books or movies they've recently read or watched.
