Chapter 9 Summary

October 11, 2016 / / 1 Comment

Simon wakes up in the night and finds the body of the dead parachutist and instead of looking to see what it really was runs back to tell the others that he’s found ‘the beast’.

Ralph gets told that Samneric and Bill have gone to Jack’s group to get meat so Ralph and Piggy decide to go to and find out what’s going on.

When Piggy and Ralph arrive they see everyone there (except Simon) laughing and enjoying themselves. Jack who spots Piggy and Ralph tells his group to give Piggy and Ralph some meat. Jack then has the audacity to ask who will join infront of Ralph who then argues that he is still the leader.

The argument is stopped as there was lightning and thunder which makes some of the boys nervous, Jack then tells the boys to dance around the pig the boys listen and begin to chant

“Kill the Beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!”

Simon then arrives and has news to tell (he finds out that the beast is not a beast and is the dead parachutist) but he stumbles into the middle of the ritual and the children end up killing him.

 

Lord Of The Flies -Chapter 6 Summary

October 7, 2016 / / 1 Comment

In the beggining of chapter 6 it is a dark night on the island, the boys are sleeping when an airplane battle occurs above. A dead pilot from one of the aircrafts drifts down on one a parachute and lands on the island next to the signal.

Sam and Eric are supposed to be awake on duty at the signal fire but are sleeping when all of this was happening. They wake up in the morning and see the parachute and they instantly think it’s huge wings and run to the rest of the boys on the island that they have found a massive beast. Ralph (the elected leader) hears about the ‘beast’ and calls for a meeting immediately, Jack (who wanted to be leader but didn’t get elected) quickly becomes annoyed at Ralph and begins to mock ‘Piggy’ he also decides that the conch doesn’t matter anymore even though he’s not leader. Everyone begins to think that Jack is going to become leader as he’s giving everyone orders. At this time Ralph has had enough and decides to get all the ‘biguns’ and search the island for this ‘beast’, they find this new place of the island which they think is the ‘beasts hideout’ and Ralph leads as Jack follows with the rest of the ‘biguns’. The boys find nothing and Ralph says that everyone has to go back to the island but the boys want to stay and keep the hideout.

Every badge available for you to earn can be found online on our special badge site: achieve.community.edutronic.net

When you submit something for assessment your teacher will evaluate it against the published criteria for each badge. You can submit work for assessment at any time – and the work can come from inside our outside the classroom.

The criteria is published in conjunction with each achievement badge, along with samples of other students’ work that has met the criteria, so you can be clear about the standards that are expected.

If your work successfully meets the criteria then your teacher will award you that badge. You will receive an email, it will be added to your Credly account and it will show up on the right side of the page whenever you log into the achievement site.

If you want to know more of what is required to unlock an achievement, simply click on its icon or title. Here are a few examples from English, Drama and Science:

During the year you will be asked to read a wide range of texts. Using texts studied in class as well as texts you have selected you will also complete a log of the reading process. Overall you will read eight texts including at least six written texts and two visual texts. You will complete log entries on each text and present a report on your findings.

Attached is the outline of your required personal reading project – inside is the guidance you need to make sure your own-choice reading is going to meet the wide reading criteria.

You can always ask your teacher for advice about which texts would be best to concentrate on – and once you’ve read each text, you’ll then be asked to write a journal entry on your blog explaining how it helped develop your understanding of The Individual and Society.

This year everyone in the school will be required to have a ‘book at hand’ – and for English students, it makes a good idea to make that book one that helps you towards this reading project.

Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.

Edutronic has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.

Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.

If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.

Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
