Adaptive teaching

Pupils who need support:

  • Should be paired with a confident, patient talk partner or sit close to an adult for the Main event so they can hear good models of the sentence starters throughout the lesson.
  • Could practise the Stop, Look, Listen, Think rule as an echo before role play in the Main event.
  • Could take on the role of ‘car’, then ‘child’ before taking on the role of the ‘adult’ during the role play in the Main event.

Pupils working at greater depth:

  • Should suggest an extra danger near the roads during the Attention grabber, for example: A car coming out of a driveway is a danger because it might not see a person on the pavement.
  • Could explain why the first picture showed an unsafe example in the Presentation: Where should we cross? and what could make it safer.
  • Could suggest other examples of places that would be safe/unsafe to cross during the Main event.
  • Could say why each part of the road-crossing rule is important.
  • Could give examples of what they are listening/looking for when crossing the road (e.g. electric cars, bikes and e-scooters being harder to hear and so needing to use sight and hearing carefully).
