I hope you and your families are safe and healthy.

• Unfortunately, much like the boys in The Lord of the Flies, we find ourselves isolated, not knowing when our situation will improve. I encourage you to reflect and to write on the themes of the novel as they relate to you and/or the current global situation.
•  I am curious to know your thoughts.  If you choose to write about today’s topic, please share your document with me in Google Docs: gnugent@ndcrusaders.org.

•  Today’s Theme: Leadership
  • What qualities do you look for in a leader? (Think back to the list of leadership qualities that you created before we started reading The Lord of the Flies.) 
  • What leadership qualities do you think are most important for the boys on the island?
  • What leadership qualities do you think are most important for you at home, in our community, in our country and in the world right now? Are they the same or different in each circumstance?
  • Final Thoughts: Do you think different situations call for different types of leaders?
