Observation #4_Quiz

                                                               Lord of the Flies Quiz

 

Pick two of the following prompts to write about.  Each answer should be at least 1 paragraph (5 sentences) long. 

 

1.) In what way is Lord of the Flies a novel about power? How is it about the power of symbols and about the power of a person to use symbols to control a group?

 

2.) Compare and contrast Ralph and Simon. Both seem to be “good” characters. Is there a difference in their goodness?

 

3.) List three important symbols from the story and explain their importance to the plot and themes.

 

Rationale:

1) What do you think the objective is?

 

Students will create short answers using critical thinking to interpret issues (power, goodness, and symbols) presented in Lord of the Flies.

 

2) What level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is that?

 

All questions fall under Analysis and Synthesis on Bloom’s Taxonomy.

 

3) How will you assess it in 10 minutes or less?


Each short answer should take 3-5 minutes to create; therefore, students should be able to answer 2 questions in 10 minutes.  I have given 3 prompts so students may pick the two they feel they will have the most success with.
