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.

This dynamically presented PowerPoint lesson (23 slides, approximately 90 minutes teaching time) works as an engaging introduction to the text and covers three main focus points: The life and works of William Golding The leading themes within ‘Lord of the Flies’ The presentation of the leading characters within the ‘Lord of the Flies’ text. This PowerPoint lesson includes, a starter activity, theme analysis questions, characterisation tasks, an extension task connected to critical vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary.
