Lord of the Flies (1963) -- movie trailer

Snaps to my students for their awesome interpretations and articulate discussion sessions about Lord of the Flies. Keep thinking of spaces and places the boys on the island negotiated. Compare them to your own (esp. w/your colony project).

Questions and Highlights

Our discussion on Golding's Lord of the Flies produced the following curiosity questions:

• How would the island activities be different if the children were female or a group of both sexes?
• What is the nature or source of evil?
• How are we defining evil?
• Is negative behavior (evil actions) a product of nature or nurture--or both?
• What is the most effective leadership style in a developing community?
