Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support:

  • Should use the Resource: Sentence starters to explain their ideas during the Main event by choosing and completing a sentence starter.
  • Could record their response to the scenarios in the Main event by drawing or writing to communicate how the character might feel and what could help.

Pupils working at greater depth:

  • Should explain the impact of kind and respectful responses in each scenario in the Main event by describing how these actions might improve how the character feels. For example: ‘Kind responses protect self-esteem and reduce anxiety about puberty changes. Treating Arjun normally would help him feel accepted and less self-conscious.’
  • Could consider how different people might support each character in the scenarios by identifying the roles of friends, teachers, parents or carers, older siblings or cousins. For example: ‘A teacher could address the teasing and remind children of expectations about respect. An older sibling or cousin might share their own experience to reassure Daniel that it is temporary.’
