Differentiation

Remember in Music that some pupils you would expect to need support may not and those you would class as greater depth might struggle.

Pupils needing extra support: Get these pupils to chant the sections which need less rhythmic guidance, eg: blast off or whoosh

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Get these pupils to keep the steady beat with woosh and also to chant the words with more syllables – get some of the more advanced to be in charge of their section.
