Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 6 - Compare

In the sixth session focusing on the book "Letters from the Lighthouse," students are invited to delve into the living environments of two characters, Olive and Cliff. The task at hand is a comparative analysis of the homes of Queenie and Ephraim, where Olive and Cliff reside. Students are encouraged to think critically about the similarities and differences between the two households. They are prompted to consider aspects such as the atmosphere, physical characteristics, the personalities of Queenie and Ephraim as reflected in their homes, and how these environments affect Olive and Cliff.

The activity is structured to allow students to organise their thoughts and observations in a clear and concise manner. They are provided with a section to write their name and the date, ensuring personal accountability and a record of their work. By comparing and contrasting the two homes, students engage with the text on a deeper level, enhancing their understanding of the characters and their circumstances. This exercise not only aids in comprehension but also develops critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential in literary studies.
