Lesson Planet Curated

William Golding's Lord of the Flies is the anchor text for a three-lesson unit module. The first instructional activity models for readers how authors use direct and indirect characterization to establish their characters. Other lessons teach readers how to decode symbols used in the novel and distinguish between a literary topic and a literary theme.
