Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

May need help in identifying what a textured surface is and in holding the drawing tool correctly; should offer one to one support if needed as both tearing and cutting may be difficult for some pupils; should encourage them to create a simpler image or have some simple images they can copy.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could encourage them to demonstrate how they create rubbings effectively to support others where needed; should encourage more detailed working of the selected rubbings into the composition.
