Boys become beasts in William Golding's Lord of the Flies. Explore their progressive transition with a collection of materials for a novel unit, including a presentation with background information, lessons on literary elements from the book, and reading assessments.

CCSS: RL.9-10.1, RL.9-10.2, RL.9-10.3 - these Common Core standards are oriented around reading literature with an emphasis on themes, characterization, details, and ideas. Many of the resources in this collection use separate anchor texts as their focus, but there are plenty with the anchor texts or selections from them included within the resource itself.

Use Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass to explore rich character development and symbolism in a way your students will thoroughly enjoy! Find everything you need here in this two-part collection, including worksheets, character mapping, and a colorful cast of characters overview (with some fun reflection questions).
