I have decided upon the three prompts for the essay with the help of my English tutor, and instead of having two prompts about Heart of Darkness and one about the SuperQuiz booklet, the Timed Essay will be made up of three prompts about Conrad's novella.
I feel that this will be better because often prompts about novels incorporate more of the individual's thoughts and ideas.
I got inspiration for these prompts from the York Notes for the novella, and from the Language and Literature Resource Guide. The prompts are not too specific and there is no right or wrong answer. There is a prompt that requires the student to argue a point and one which deals with symbols and themes in the novel. I made sure that the prompts covered a wide range of possibilities to make sure each student has a prompt that they are comfortable with.
