Final Project!

Lord of the Flies: The Final Project

Due Yesterday: Project proposal that shows me your plan for each area of the project and the format you will be using so I can give you feedback and let you know if you’re way off track.  Please feel free to use one of two different graphic organizers shown below to organize your thoughts and ensure you've covered all the requirements.

Your project should do three things:
    1. Identify a theme in Lord of the Flies (i.e. Savagery vs. Civilization, the Nature of Evil, Rules and Order, Power, Loss of Innocence, Individualism vs. Community, Dehumanizing Relationships)
    2. Identify and prove with evidence Golding’s position on that theme (i.e. what does Golding use this book to say about Rules and Order in general).  That is to say, what is Golding using this book to say about the world in "big picture" terms.
    3. Provide your own position/opinion on this theme, whether it is similar to Golding’s or not (i.e. Is Golding right about what he says about Rules and Order in general?)

Format Suggestions:
    - Essay with attitude (good for college prep!)
    - Creative writing piece:
        - missing scenes from the story written as a narrative or script
        - newspaper article about “the incident” complete with photos
        - a scrapbook or diary
    - Comic strip (You can use the "Comic Life" program)
    - Poem (keep in mind, it would probably have to be on the long side to get your point across)   
    - Collage or other art piece - this would require a piece of writing explaining how your piece
       fulfills the requirements.
    - YouTube video
    - Multimedia presentation
    - A song
    - Board game
    - Any other suggestions you’d like to propose?
