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 cuddle 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 cuddle 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.
