This lesson is intended for the first day of the unit to introduce students to Lord of the Flies.

Throughout the course of a student’s life, they will be exposed to various circumstances which require them to lead or to be lead by others. Because of this, students should have a firm understanding of the qualities and characteristics that are important to them for determining effective leadership. Students will be able to create their own definition for 'leadership' in a one page response based on their initial reaction to select speeches from Lord of the Flies. (9,10 LRA 3.4)
