Synopsis

This is part of a course of language and literature study at Key Stage 4. The course covers language work and literary and non-literary texts including contemporary and pre-20th century poetry, literature, drama and media. In addition to a course book, there are seven self-contained literature study books, each leading the student through the close study of a major or set text, or prescribed period of poetry within its historical, social and cultural context. This volume explores the text of "Lord of the Flies". It offers ideas and material to support a class reading of this GCSE text and aims to guide students chapter-by-chapter, establishing the main points in the narrative and asking key questions about the text. Individual and group activities generate discussion and help students form their own opinion, while the major themes are explored via a wide range of stimuli, including an inquiry into the events on the island, modern parallels and an exploration of savagery.
