Lord of the Flies


Hello Y11

Right, I hope we're getting back into the swing of things now. We are half way through out Lord of the Flies course so you should have a fairly solid understanding of the text and its messages.

A couple of things that really stand out from the examiner's report (after every exam there is a comment on how it went)

  1. Write a lot about a little. This is key advice and something we have been working on throughout the GCSE  course. 
  2. Focus on theme/message and not on content. Again -- do NOT tell the story. 
You should have read the book at least once by now. If you haven't, this is urgent and you need to sort it out. I'll upload the PowerPoints we've worked on in class. 

Let me know if you have problems.
