Is the nature of humans inherently good or evil? That is the question scholars consider in the fourth lesson of the Lord of the Flies unit. In a Four Corners activity, they examine statements about human nature and stand by the poster that most closely reflects their opinion. They then do a close reading of passages from the novel and consider what the statements reveal. Finally, class members post their answers to the question on Flipgrid.
