Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Position these children nearer to you so that you can offer differentiation by support. Direct specific questions with yes/no answers during the listening activities.
Pupils working at greater depth: Invite these pupils to lead the soundscape performance. Ask them to name the ‘interrelated dimensions of music’ that you have used in your soundscape.
