A group discussion task followed by a persuasive speech, based on a fictional scenario where students have been washed up on a desert island.

The task requires students to plan for how they will make the best of the unfortunate situation, by setting up their own new country. Their challenge includes:

  • creating a name and slogan for the new country
  • making a poster advertising the country
  • making a speech which persuades the class that their island is the best.

This creative task would be suitable for any class studying a survival-themed text, including Lord of the Flies.
