Aim: How does the exposition of Lord of the Flies set up the novel to question how society structures the transition from childhood to adulthood.

The main objective of this lesson was to finish presenting our newspaper projects and continue our discussion on Lord of the Flies. First a group went up and presented a newspaper from the ‘Fahrenheit 451’ reality. They talked about the made up news and creative advertisements that they took from sections of the book, one featured an advertisement for a flamethrower and another for a toothpaste ad featured in the book. After we discussed our main thoughts on the point and objective of this project, to which we all agreed that it was interesting to watch each other’s perspectives and how the group chose to make it entertaining. 

Next we went on to discuss the effects of age on the boys’ perception of events in Lord of the Flies. We ended the class discussing the physiological effects of age on the perception of the gruesome events in the book.
