A friend of mine shared this with me this morning so I thought I would pass it along. It is going to be my new lesson plan for Lord of the Flies this year!
The comic comes from The Jenkins Comics blog.
If you don't teach this book, consider it. It is a great book to get struggling and reluctant readers into, though you will need to probably skip a chapter here or there to keep them from losing focus. The symbolism is over the top, so many of them get that "A-ha!" moment when they finally understand what symbolism is all about. Plus, the characters of Jack, Ralph, and Piggy resonant with the students.
While you are at it, if you teach Lord of the Flies, try out my interactive survival game at the EET Store.
