How to challenge your gifted and talented students when studying Lord of the Flies as part of their GCSE in English Literature:
Use all levels of Blooms Taxonomy when setting activities and questions, particularly the top levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
- Give your students control over their own learning by setting a variety of activities they could complete when studying the key aspects of the novel, so they choose what’s appropriate for them.
- Explore the similarities and differences between the novel and its characters and other texts, such as Heart of Darkness and Paradise Lost.
- Prompt specificity in exam answers and show how it can be achieved through A* examples for your exam board.
- Get creative with activities which reinforce and aid exploration of the text, such as drama activities, art, creative writing and media.
