Materials Students: Lord of the Flies book, composition book, pen/pencil, Homework (statuses) Teacher:, Study Guides, Lord of the Flies book, Symbols Handouts Check for Understanding By having the students complete a short quiz, I will be able to assess if students are completing the readings for the class discussions and see if they are comprehending the text on an individualized level. By asking students direct and indirect questions, I will be able to asses their understanding of the novel. Also, by instituting the use of index cards to call their names, I will be able to make sure that all students have to equal chance or opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge to the class.
