CF Observation #4

1. What is the "beast" a symbol of and why?


2. Symbolism plays an important role in The Lord of the Flies. How does symbols affect the characters of the novel? Explain.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review
1.) What do you think the objective is?
Students will pinpoint the symbols and explain what they convey.

2.)What level of Bloom's Taxonomy is that?
I believed that the objective is between the knowledge and comprehension level of Bloom's Taxonomy because it is just asking the students to define what a symbol is and to provide an example.

3.)How will you assess it in 10 minutes or less?
By implementing a 2 short answer quiz that is posted above. I designed my first question to test the knowledge/ comprehension level but then I made the second question more difficult to encompass some of the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.

CF Observation #3

The lesson plan was based on the novel Lord of the Flies and had to do with symbolism.  We only spent about twenty minutes observing this class because we arrived during the students' lunch break. We only caught the very end of the lesson so it was difficult to estimate the times they spent on each part of the lesson. Some of the lesson plan has holes in it and that is because it was not present during observation!
