Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support:
- Could use the Activity: Boundaries (support) to recognise personal preferences and boundaries by responding to prompts instead of writing independently.
- Could talk through the Presentation: Teddy wants a hug ahead of the lesson to understand the scenarios by sharing ideas verbally before the whole-class discussion.
- Could suggest ways to communicate the word ‘no’ verbally or through actions to express discomfort by speaking or demonstrating instead of recording ideas in writing.
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should suggest a range of appropriate ways the characters in the Presentation: Teddy wants a hug could greet each other, explaining why different greetings might be suitable.
- Should explain how someone might show they feel uncomfortable, using both body language and words, referring to examples from the presentation.
- Should talk about why people may have different boundaries with different people, giving simple reasons linked to relationships or familiarity.
