Lord of the Flies chapter summaries
A key feature of this resource is the chapter summaries. These break down the main events and character developments in each section of Lord of the Flies.
These summaries make it easier for KS3 students to grasp the plot and understand the critical turning points in the story.
Each chapter summary provides a concise overview of the key events, making it easier for students to follow along and absorb the novel’s themes and lessons.
The summaries also highlight important character moments and conflicts, helping students engage more deeply with the text as they progress through the chapters.
Tasks
In addition to the chapter summaries, the course reader includes a series of thought-provoking questions and tasks that encourage KS3 students to reflect on the story and explore its themes.
These include questions on leadership, morality and the tension between civilisation and savagery. These key concepts are essential for developing critical thinking skills in younger students.
Character trackers
The resource also includes character trackers, which allow students to follow the development of key figures like Ralph, Piggy, Jack and Simon across the chapters.
This tool helps KS3 students build a stronger understanding of the characters’ motivations and transformations throughout the novel.
