Transition
--Pick up a copy of the document titled "Learning How to Read the Novel Using CHAPTER ONE".  Let's "divide and conquer" in order to prepare for today's discussion:

• continuing to build our list as per the following questions:
• What should we be looking for and discussing when analyzing William Golding's Lord of the Flies?
• deepening our understanding of Lord of the Flies via collaborative discussion/notetaking

"Gearing Up" Discussion Preparation (Phase 3) -- What to Look for in Lord of the Flies/Lord of the Flies CHAPTER ONE
--"divide and conquer" via a "think-pair"

Transition

--Take out your notebook and flip to the section titled "What to Look for in LotF".  Add to your notes as per list on the lefthand side of the whiteboard.  Then, date a new page (2/9/2018 [ACE] or 2/12/2018 [BDF]).  Label this new section of your notes "Lord of the Flies--Initial Discussion of CHAPTER ONE".  Be prepared to flip back and forth between this section of your notes and the section titled "What to Look for in LotF". 
--Form an alphabetized-by-one-item-you-would-bring-to-an-uninhabited-island circle out of the desks.  (Please be thoughtful.)  Bring to the circle the following items:

• your notebook
• your partially completed "Learning How to Read the Novel Using CHAPTER ONE" document
• your copy of Lord of the Flies and any corresponding purposeful reading notes

"Gearing Up" Discussion (cont.) & Purposeful/Active Oral Reading (HW Time) -- What to Look for in Lord of the Flies/Lord of the Flies CHAPTER ONE

--warm-up (time permitting)
--FYI: You should leave class today with a longer list of what to look for while reading Lord of the Flies in order to focus your purposeful/active reading.  We will continue adding to this list over the course of the next few weeks as we move further forward in the text.

--Reminder: "Discussion Contribution Rating Scale"

--engage in discussion about materials listed above in order to... 

• continue building our list of "what to look for" in Lord of the Flies
• begin deepening our understanding of what we have read so far in Lord of the Flies

--Reminder: In order to engage in high-level discussions about Golding's challenging text, our purposeful/active reading tasks so far are as follows:

• complete Post-its and/or notes in your notebook
• look for, draw potential conclusions about, and flag the items on our "What to Look for in Lord of the Flies" list
• read actively as we have done in the past (e.g., if you have a question, jot it down and flag the page; if you connect the text to personal experience, jot down notes about the connection and flag the page; etc.)

HW (Practice/Take-Home Assessment)
