Aaron has sheet and tells Danny that this is part of the “act”. Yet doesn’t start the class with it.

Josh yelling across room to Caroline.

Aaron: Alright, who is going to be the leader? She is just here to observe.

Tommy: Oh, really. I was wondering. Tommy says I’m going to lead and comes up to the front.

Tommy: As you know, you have a yellow sheet in front to explain what is going on.

Caroline: I do not.

Tommy: If you do not, crowd around one. We need to do three things: determine how class is going to run, determine methods for survival, and talk about chapter 1.

Aaron: Let’s not make this difficult, Tommy’s the leader.

No, Seth is the leader

Josh: I say we have a republic. Screams across room for Alexis to pay attention.

Tommy: We are going with democracy right now.

Tommy: What does it mean to be a good contributor Will: I will sacrifice someone

Max: Is human sacrifice out?

Josh: Don’t call someone out?

Tommy: Raise hand to speak. We should make rules.

Will: I raise my hand and he calls on me it is not a democracy. Then you (Tommy) have to raise your hand Aaron: What are we doing?

Tommy: How should we communicate? Raise hand? Talking stick

Michael: Talking stick a hassle

We actually can’t leave the room.

Alex: An atom bomb went off and killed people, so that is important.

Kobe: Wait that actually happened? Wait, did an atom bomb actually go off?

Tommy: Let’s talk about the conch

Lindsey and Talia talk to each other about meaning of conch.

Tommy: Does everyone agree that Piggy’s glasses symbolize intelligence?

Seth: I think vulnerability also

Josh: I think someone with better handwriting should write.

Tommy: Let’s not be critical here, be nice. Calls on Tali

Tali:” I think it is ironic that one of characters name is Piggy and they didn’t kill pig at end of chapter Tommy: Jack not killing pig at end of chapter but says it will, foreshadow something?

Angie: I think it foreshadows loss of innocence because he doesn’t kill it now, but will Jack standing.

12:20 number of people with books open: 2 Seth reading another book.

Tommy goes over to Danny and Aaron and ask if they want to help.

Tommy: Let’s focus here.

Josh: Let her explain herself

Tali: talks about how Piggy is smarter

Tommy: Everyone agree there is tension on the island?

Josh: Seth, what are you doing?

Tommy: Let’s not call anyone out; it’s a rule

Josh: But you said be proactive, you said it yourself

(5)

Will and Josh: You are calling us out now Tommy: Just don’t be that guy.

Someone: We should have a quiet corner

Tommy: They are looking for a leader, and looking to Ralph

Angie: (is now sitting down) reads a quote that it was roughly boat shaped? So does that mean they are on a journey?

Josh: No, it means the island is shaped like a boat

Tommy: They are on a journey, Ralph, Simon, Jack, they are losing their…

Angie: What if this is about them losing their innocence Tommy: Kind of like journey of adulthood

Josh: It is important to know their ages 12-6 Caroline: Wait, there is a 6 year old?

Seth still reading another book 12:26.

Tommy: 12:26, we are going to craft a Ladder of Abstraction model, so if you guys can find quotes, feel free to start.

Caroline: What should the quotes be about?

Tommy: What you think is important Max: Is quote at the bottom?

They debate if bottom or 2

^nd

Tommy: Can anyone give me solid plot that describes chapter 1 Cameron: We need to find the plot for a quote first.

At 12:27 4 people with books open.

Tommy: Josh can you get out your book? Can everyone get books out?

Even after said that 6 with books open

Michael: p. 11 on the bottom. “I could swim when I was 5. Daddy taught me.

Tali comes up.

Josh: Listen to Tali guys.

Tali: I’m not saying anything.

Will now laying on table.

(6)

Josh: No feet on the table; that is rude.

Tommy: Let’s remain focused. I bet everyone in the class wants to get a good grade. I doubt anyone wants a B or a C. Let’s focus and work on this. This will be important for our success on the island.

Caroline: For number 3, Author’s craft, the conch represents hope, when blew it found other people Angie: Hope and authority.

Tommy: Everyone agree the pig at the end of the chapter foreshadows something between Piggy and Jack?

Michael: Jack doesn’t have to make it up by killing a pig.

Aaron: Anyone have anything about diction

Will: I feel like the more we talk about, the more she will put on the test.

Tommy: Let’s focus on one thing at a time.

Tali: “A chief, a chief, I ought to be chief”

Tommy: What is significant about that?

Marissa: The island is shaped like a boat. Is that an irony because you use a boat to get off the island?

Will: You use an island to get to a boat.

Tommy: To Will, Josh, Kobe, can you guys focus please?

Josh: The fact that you are just standing there just sharing one book?

Tali: We haven’t even gotten Piggy’s name. It is a nickname?

Tommy: Does that represent insecurity

Tommy raises voice, hey, one of a time, one at a time

Jillian: I think Piggy is the Lord and the rest are flies, followers Josh: Piggy is the Lord of the Flies

Max: So it is foreshadowing.

Tommy: We all agree that when Jack vows to kill pig later that it foreshadows trouble between Jack and Piggy

Angie says she disagrees 3 times, no one listens Josh: When you look at cover Piggy looks scared Someone says blood

Aaron: What is the purpose?

Tommy: What is author’s purpose?

(7)

Tommy to Ian: What do you think, you haven’t participated yet today.

Josh: I thought you are not supposed to call anyone out?

Tommy: I just want different people’s input.

Tali: Is chapter 2 homework

Max: Read the yellow paper. Does it say anything about homework?

Tommy: Jack, you haven’t said anything today. What do you think the author’s purpose is?

Jack: Show different levels of leadership.

Tali: I agree.

Josh: Starts to pack up, sees me look at him says to rest – I don’t know why people are packing up Tommy: I don’t think we have to read Chapter 2, but need to study for quiz

Josh: I don’t think you need to know the most, just don’t know the least Aaron: I haven’t heard Alex say anything

Tommy and Michael: He did say something Seth: Did it describe what kind of pig it is.

Josh: What kind of pigs are there?

Tali: What is going to be on the quiz?

Tommy: I have no idea. Anything in chapter fair game Angie: All men for self?

Tommy: No, we are a group. Everyone is taking separately, the person with the lowest grade we receive that grade
