Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Should use the Activity: Thought bubbles (support) to record what people might be thinking, feeling and doing when visiting a significant place, rather than using sticky notes; could focus on fewer images from the Resource: People, place or practice? to reduce cognitive load; could have sticky notes with sentence starters, such as ‘They might feel…’ or ‘They might be thinking about…’ to structure responses when sharing ideas during the class discussion.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should draw out differences in how people might think, feel or act at different events (for example, comparing a concert with a worship service), explaining what makes each experience unique; should recognise how people who cannot attend an event might feel and explain how alternative options (such as livestreaming or online participation) could help them feel connected; should identify the benefits of these alternative options, giving reasons linked to commitment, belonging or accessibility; could discuss other factors (such as history or culture) that might also make a place significant and explain how these might influence different people’s experiences.
