Lord of the Flies Final Projects
Read, Write, Speak, Listen, View, and Produce!
Due: February 12, 2009
Chapter Actors: Summarize a full chapter (chapter choice is first come first serve – no
doubles) in video. A script is mandatory: a project will be worth a maximum of half
credit without a script. The video must be formatted to share in the presentation on:
VHS, DVD, YouTube location, or playable on Windows Media Player. (Up to three
members – all on screen)
Rap/Song Summary (music video optional but encouraged): Summarize all 12
chapters in the lyrics of your song or rap. Be prepared to perform your song/rap live or
by recording (CD, DVD, or Windows Media Player) and hand-in a typed copy of the
lyrics. (Up to two members- both perform)
Comic Book: Write a comic book (computer-aided optional) or a video game that
includes all 12 chapters in Lord of the Flies. (Individual Project)
Movie Buff Compare/Contrast Essay: Plan ahead to rent these videos or choose
another option. Written parent approval is required for this project because one of the
films is Rated R. In a five paragraph compare/contrast essay, focus on three traits you can
comment or criticize in both films. (Individual Project but groups viewings okay)
 Lord of the Flies, 1963, dir. Peter Brook (Unrated)
 Lord of the Flies, 1990, Dir. Harry Hook for Castle Rock Entertainment (Rated R)
Music Video: Take media clips from either of the two movies (or from popular culture, see wikipedia- such as The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Twilight Zone) and set them to music. The
song you choose must represent themes from the novel and may have been inspired by
LotF (see suggestions- such as “Fable” by Gatsby’s American Dream- at wikipedia). You
may add quotes from the novel for emphasis.

Sociograms
A sociogram is a visual representation of the relationships among characters in a literary
text; they help students understand relationships between characters. Students can make
use of pictures, symbols, shapes, colors, and line styles to illustrate these relationships.
As the story develops, students can add to or revise their sociograms to graphically
illustrate the changing relationships, the traits of each character, and the emerging
primary and secondary conflicts. (http://greece.k12.ny.us/instruction/ela/612/Reading/Reading%20Strategies/sociograms.htm)
An example from Hamlet:

On the bottom of this paper (or a clean
