Teaching gifted pupils: Using key skills


Pupils who are gifted in RE benefit from enrichment and extension activities that include key skills, in particular:

communication
discussing relevant ideas, issues and information; speaking clearly to a situation or issue, taking into account the audience; responding one to one and in a group. For example, pupils contribute to a class evaluation of their work, providing constructive feedback on what they find interesting

working with others
planning what needs to be done and helping to confirm understanding of the objectives of the task. For example, pupils work collaboratively on a model of a place of worship, creating the design and then developing elements, including symbolism, to convey the religious purpose of the building

improving own learning and performance
applying the plan-do-review cycle to set their own targets, confirm their own understanding, make plans and review achievement. For example, pupils investigate the life and work of a key religious figure. They plan the stages of their investigation, analyse the impact of the person, and reflect on what they have learned and how their achievement can be improved.
