Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support:

Year 3: May need to be guided through their day so far to think about the choices they made at each point.

Year 4: Should focus on just scenario 2 as it is more straightforward. Give additional help to the children to help them to develop their character.

 

Pupils working at greater depth:

Year 3: Should explain why other people make choices for them at their age.

Year 4: Should be challenged to take the idea from any of the scenarios and develop it further. They could also work in a larger group and add additional characters to the scenarios.
