Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Pair children strategically to ensure they work in supportive partnerships. They may find it easier to be the ‘caller’ in their pair, as this will allow them to repeat the same call rather than having to generate ideas on the spot. When responding to a call, remind them it is okay to improvise so that their response can be different each time.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should take turns being the caller and the responder in the paired task. In the wrapping up, they could be encouraged to keep the class in time with their calls using gestures.
