Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Put together in a group to work with you or another adult to support them with the ability to think how the characters would be feeling, rather than how they themselves feel.

Pupils working at greater depth: Should use a range of vocabulary to describe emotions and should be able to explain how someone else is feeling through empathising with them.

Challenge them to add a speech bubble to each character to show what they might say as a result of what they are feeling.
