Title: Chapters 3-4 Symbols Forum
Course: BC-Literary Studies 11-1.1.0.0-XT

After completing the Chapters 3-4 Symbols Worksheet and provided an interpretation for all of the symbols, write a 100-150 word forum post about one symbol or character. Find the Chapters 3-4 Symbols Forum on your course home page. What does the object or person symbolize? What evidence do you have from the text for your interpretation? What message was Golding trying to convey through his use of this particular symbol?

After you have created your own post, find one other student to respond to with a 75-100 word response. Make sure to choose a student that has written about a different symbol than you did. In your response, don’t just say, “I agree! Great job!” Ask a question, disagree charitably, add other evidence that you saw from the text, or counter with a different interpretation. Try to add something meaningful and insightful to the conversation so that everyone’s understanding of the novel can be increased.
