Lord of the Flies masks

Below are some of the masks my 12th graders created during our Lord of the Flies unit. Consult the link list to the right for the assignment instructions.

Halo Macbeth

Who said Shakespeare was boring?

All hail Macbeth!

I've added a Macbeth character poster activity I did last week with my seniors. There's also a handout on citing correctly from plays. There's a lot more I'd like to add to this page, but alas, there is only so much time.

As for the image above, I had students do a five minute freewrite. They were free to describe what they thought was going on, write about any connections they made between the image and their world, write about how the characters were feeling, etc. It sparked some creative responses, and even my more reluctant students were able to chime in.

New additions

I've just added a number of links and downloads to a variety of materials, lessons, and websites. Take a look and let me know what you find useful!

Stay tuned

This page will eventually become an online English teacher resource. I hope to consolidate and sort a number of valuable teacher websites that contain handouts, lesson plans, and ideas.

I'll also upload some of my assignment sheets and lessons for other teachers to peruse. This site could become valuable to my students too, as my more common handouts will be available for download.
