I strongly recommend reviewing these tips and suggestions as you prepare for the in-class essay on Lord of the Flies.

Remember the following details and guidelines pertaining to the essay itself:

1. Choose any one of the four prompts and apply it to LOTF.
2. You may--in fact, you should!--use your copy of LOTF during the essay. As you are preparing for the essay, mark important passages in the novel using post-its, or write down page and paragraph numbers on your page of notes to help you quickly find key passages.
3. You may use up to one page (front and back) of hand-written notes.
