1 Lord of the Flies Reading Chronolog a simple study guide to assist students in reading and comprehending the novel Designer: Alexander Clarkson, English Teacher Audience: 9 th -12 th grade Objectives: Objectives come from Ohio s Benchmarks by Grade Level The student will be able to answer literal, inferential, evaluative and synthesizing questions to demonstrate comprehension of grade-appropriate print texts and electronic and visual media. The student will be able to monitor own comprehension by adjusting speed to fit the purpose, or by skimming, scanning, reading on, looking back, note taking or summarizing what has been read so far in text. The student will be able to apply reading comprehension strategies, including making predictions, comparing and contrasting, recalling and summarizing and making inferences and drawing conclusions. Narrative: I have used this chronology for six years to teach Lord of the Flies to both honors and regular sophomore students. It was the first chronolog I designed, and I liked it so much that I applied the format to every other novel I teach. The chronolog presents students with summary sentences of the novel in which a word or phrase is missing. As they read, students fill in that word or phrase. The blanks contain simple information that should not present students with much challenge, but they must keep their attention while reading. When I assign chapters for homework, the first order of business in class is a short true/false quiz. I use the chronolog to write those questions, so students who have completed the guide while they read are ready for the quiz. After the quiz, I help students with blanks they may have found challenging. I take only a few minutes to help with blanks that may have confused them. Then, I check their chronologs for completion points as a homework assignment. This guide fulfills a number of purposes. First, it helps students focus while they read, leading to better retention. Second, it helps them prepare for the reading quiz. Third, it helps me monitor reading completion. Finally, when completed, the chronolog provides notes for the students to use when finding evidence from the novel to use in writing assignments. Format: The chronolog is available in pdf format to preserve formatting. If you wish to modify it, copy and paste the text into a Word document.

2 Lord of the Flies Chronolog Fill in each blank in the following chronology to keep track of the basic events of the plot, focus your reading, and prepare for reading checks.
