GCSE Literature: (7) ‘Lord of the Flies’ – Assessment 1 – Guided Essay Writing

(0)
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 this specific resource (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning resource in SKYPE lessons, as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically presented PowerPoint lesson (26 slides, approximately 2 hours teaching time) provides a step-by-step guide to writing an academic essay in response to the question: ‘Why have some literary critics commented that Golding’s main themes present a tragic lack of hope for mankind, or that evil is a self-destructive inborn trait of mankind?’ This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
