This project involves creating a mask that symbolizes key themes and characters in the novel 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding. Students are encouraged to explore the symbolism of items such as the conch, glasses, fire, or the beast as they design a mask that represents the loss of individuality and descent into savagery. The assignment includes a reflective essay where students will explain their design choices, discuss the themes addressed by their mask, and articulate the creative process behind it. The project is an engaging way to deepen understanding of the novel's complex ideas and character transformations.
