I am interested in any tests/quizzes and anything else you are willing to share on The Great Gatsby and Lord of the Flies. I am starting a unit on The Great Gatsby, my first time teaching it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, I teach at a very small,reamote school on the Navajo reservation just outside Albuquerque, NM. I teach all the high school classes 9-12 and want to teach Lord of the Flies to my sophomores. I have taught it in the past but could use some new materials. My school info is:
Tohjiile Community School
P.O. Box 3438
Tohajiilee,NM 87026
505-908-2426 OUr school doens’t have a website or a school e-mail that everyone uses. But you could call and talk to my principal if need be. Her name is Jane Pitts.

Hi there Mrs. Hawke,

Remember me! :) We e-mailed a couple of times in September about some ‘Separate Peace’ material( remember, I’m the new ESL teacher with 8 different level groups, from Montreal). Let me simply say that I put my own twist to it and it worked like a charm with my group. I see that you have all these nice resources for LOFT and would love to be able to use them, if possible?

Thanks in advance

Alexandra

Thank you for taking added time out of an already hectic schedule to respond, reply, and attach your work. You are certainly appreciated over here in GA.

Hello Mrs. Hawke,

I am about to teach LOF and would love any tests, quizzes, projects, etc. that you may have. It looks like the last person to email you was about 2 years ago. I hope that you still check the site.

Thanks in advance for all of your help,
Ira Baker

I teach English at a small school in western North Carolina. I usually teach sophomores and juniors; however, now I have picked up a senior class. Lord of the Flies is included in the canon of lit for this grade.
I am re-reading the novel now. I would appreciate any material you have which would help me.
Have a great school year.

Hey, Chelsea!

I have to say that I don’t think that’s an easy assignment at all. But it’s obviously not meant to be easy; it’s meant to lead you into some higher-order thinking!

Ethos, pathos, logos are three rhetorical styles, I know, but are you supposed to try to persuade the reader or listener that Jack is whatever color using each of them? If I remember correctly from my philosophy studies, the same three terms can also describe leadership qualities, a la Aristotle. This would make more sense concerning character analysis, but I can’t really see how it would work with the colors.

I guess I’ll need some more information first: How does your teacher mean for you to use ethos, pathos, and logos in your analysis? And, hopefully, this is not the same difficulty you’re already having. Regardless, I’m loving this kind of assignment, and my future advanced sophomores may have you to thank for my using something like it. :P
