The Lord of the Flies group activity was a fun way to discuss the book. This role play like activity made us put ourselves in the charecters shoes, and try to survive as they are doing so far in the book. Although that was how the activity was suppose to go our class didnt cooperate very much. Everyone was trying to be the leader and tell everyone what to do. Maybe that's how our class is, leaders, but we didnt do anything producting resulting in a clash as all my classmates.
Specifically, we tried to use a talking stick and share our ideas, but it ended uo with people all disagreeing and some even had to leave the group. There were little to no signs of survival for our class we showd none of the traights that we were asked to discuss in this blg. Although some classes had success with this activity, ours resulting in many people "Killing themselves," and we didnt get anywhere.
I also thought it was interesting that we chose an object to decide who was talking, similar to that of the conch in the story. I totally could have been the leader by the way.
ReplyDeleteI knoww! I thought we would be able to handle this in a mature way, but no we couldn't. If we could have had a set leader than we could have done so much better with the activity.
