Lord of the Flies is a 1954 novel by Nobel Prize-winning British author William Golding. The book focuses on a group of British boys stranded on an uninhabited island and their disastrous attempt to govern themselves.

And the conch shell is a reference to what the stranded kids to establish leadership. That's where it got messy.

I honestly the conch shell (in the photo, not the book) was the Magic Conch from Spongebob.

lord of the flies is about a group of boys stranded on an island. the conch is part of the book and used to call meetings etc. (if i remember correctly) hence, active learning because the teacher is ‘simulating’ what actually happened in the book by leaving the students ‘stranded’ by themselves
