Teacher CyberGuide: Lord of the Flies
This supplemental unit to Lord of the Flies was developed as part of the Schools of California Online Resources for Educators (SCORE) Project. The unit provides resources for students to focus on the following issues:
• The historical background for the novel
• The symbolism of the conch
• The element of survival faced by the boys on the island
• Current, real-world political and social situations similar to the events in the novel
There are four major activities as part of the unit.
