'Boy' fun adaptive teaching assessment

This resource is focused on Roald Dahl’s ‘Boy’ and is a creative adaptive teaching assessment.

The task asks them to design and pitch for a new sweet concept. There are clear instructions and roles for each member of the group.

There are additional tasks they can produce - jingles, adverts etc.

This gives the pupils autonomy and is a creative and persuasive task.

I have taught this for four years now and every year their work is often the highlight of my term! Some students even produce prototypes which is another benefit of this task.

This is aimed at Y7 but could also be a Y8 end of year project depending on ability of the group. This task could span over 3 or 4 lessons and produces minimal marking.

A fun and beneficial task that combines disciplines. Great for observations too…
