Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Will need support with recording their ideas. May need support with using large pieces of paper to explore with the possible shapes of the case.
Pupils working at greater depth: Will need to consider their target audience in more detail: What style product might appeal to them? What will they not like? Children working at this level may wish to make a mood board using images from magazines or the internet. They could also create their own templates for their book cover, rather than using those provided – reminding them to allow the extra room required for the book itself.
