GCSE Literature: ‘Lord of the Flies’ – Bundle 1: Chapters 1 to 6 (8x90 minute lessons)

William Golding’s enduring classic ‘Lord of the Flies’ is an essential text, detailing the story of a group of young boys shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. With the absence of law and order, and parental authority, chaos and tragedy unfolds. I have taught this text many times in the last twenty years and have used these specific resources (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as distance learning resources for SKYPE lessons, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision – all have worked well for the students.

These dynamically presented PowerPoint lessons (each lesson providing approximately 90 minutes teaching time) includes: a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, a set of recap questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking exercise, an extension task connected to critical vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary. This bundle also includes an ‘Introduction to the Text’ lesson and a ‘Half-Term Assessment – Guided Essay Writing’ lesson. These are complete resources with no additional work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
