LOF: The Beginning

Lord of the Flies ch.1-3
In the spirit of creating great discussion amongst my two classes, I want you to discuss with one another what you think of LOF so far? What are your initial impressions? What questions do you have? Can you help to answer one another's questions? Talk to me people!

What does it take to challenge the system?

What does it take to challenge the system? Think about movies you have watched, books you have read, or elements from our own history- in all of these, what does it take to "stick it to the man?"

This is NOT Education as Usual

What are qualities of good teachers? What are qualities of good students? What expectations do you have of this class? What expectations do you have of me as your teacher?

What does it mean to have a professional learning environment? What does it mean to be a producer of information versus a consumer of information?

Make sure to address all parts of the questions as well as comment on one another's reactions.
