ENGAGING ACTIVITIES
A. Watch the video of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and answer the following
questions. Here’s the link to the video.
- The Lord of the Flies by William Goldings was all about a group of young
boy’s who are stranded on a deserted island. They develop rules and
organizational system, out in the absence of adults to serve as a civilizing
impulse, the children eventually become violent and brutal.
- The struggle between Jack and Ralph is the central conflict in Lord of the
Flies. The conflict over who will lead the island represents a clash between a
peaceful democracy, represented by Ralph, and a violent dictatorship,
represented by Jack. Both boys are potential leaders of the entire group, and
while Jack reluctantly accepts Ralph's leadership at first, as the plot
progresses, their rivalry grows and intensifies until it becomes a death
struggle. Ralph and Jack (and the boys who support them) represent
opposing values and aspects of human nature. Ralph represents law, duty,
reason, and the protection of the weak, whereas Jack represents violence,
cruelty, mob rule, fear-based government, and tyranny. The story appears to
be showing us that humanity's violent and savage impulses are more
powerful than civilization, which is inherently fragile, as we see Ralph's hold
over the other boys weaken and crumble until he is cast out and hunted. And,
while Ralph is saved at the last minute by a representative of civilization in
the form of the naval officer, the fact that a global war is taking place
emphasizes the idea that civilization itself is under serious threat from
violent forces.

UNDERSTANDING DIRECTED ASSESSMENT
In conclusion, rather than the task's exact name, it is probably more important to
emphasize the value of engaging students in active learning. Both project-based
learning and problem-based learning have a place in the classroom of the present and
can support 21st Century learning. Problem-based learning differs from project-based
learning in that students who complete it frequently collaborate with the teacher to set
the learning objectives and outcomes. On the other hand, project-based learning uses a
strategy in which the objectives are predetermined. The way that the teaching is done is
also very structured.
