Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Might need help to interpret the nutritional values of the recipes and support from their peers, or teacher/TA to amend the basic bolognese – knowing where to add any additional ingredients. 

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Should articulate the reasons for their opinions as to the healthiness of the recipes. They could create a brand and product name for their sauce, justifying why it reflects the values of the product.
