    Skip the typical William Golding introduction lecture as you begin a study of Lord of the Flies and empower students to find their own interesting facts about this author’s life with the “Author Bio” print/post-and-teach activity.

    This single-page worksheet (includes both a printable PDF and Google Drive version) is a powerful research organizer that’ll get students digging deep into Golding’s background.

    Please note: This download does NOT include a specific article or links to defined articles. It is an organizer tool for students to use as they conduct their own research.

They’ve seen enough of our introductory slideshows; this time, let your kids do the work and discuss/determine what they think is meaningful about this author’s life.

    Here are a few suggested uses for this flexible research tool:

    When I taught freshmen, I used to love it because I got to teach Lord of the Flies, which was required ninth grade reading in our district for a long time. I know not everyone loves Lord of the Flies, but I love teaching any book that makes kids go “What the f***?” This book was always a winner based on that criteria.

    The skills/terms I covered in this unit were:
