Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support:
Year 5: Can use the Presentation: Newspaper template when writing their report and could benefit from being given information to support their chosen event.

Pupils working at greater depth:
Year 5: Should be challenged to demonstrate a greater understanding of the impact of change through their article.
Year 6: Can be challenged to look in more detail about how stereotypes around race and religion can be discriminatory.
