The document outlines a guided annotation task for analyzing texts, specifically focused on 'Lord of the Flies.' It provides steps for preparation, including watching specific videos and searching for related content on YouTube, followed by a structured summary statement format for analyzing each chapter. Key aspects such as themes, characterization, and historical context are emphasized as part of the analysis process.

1. Guided Annotation Task – Pair / Group Text Analysis
Step 1 – Preparation
Begin with these two videos and take rough notes to give you scope for your analysis:
https://youtu.be/WfNiQBXmPw8 (Lordof the Flies: CrashCourse Literature 305)
https://youtu.be/VPKMpRu2DKI (UnderstandingSymbolisminLordof the Flies)
Search YouTube for the key words of your text and the chapter you are doing.
(A good place to start is with the channels: ‘MrBruff’, ‘MrsSperry.com’ and
‘SSummaries’) Some key words to help you search are: ‘analysis’, ‘key
quotes’ and ‘summary’. Make sure to avoid assorted adults reading out the
novel, this will not help you with your analysis.
