Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could just consider the risks associated with consuming alcohol rather than both the positives and negatives.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged during the activity to divide the consequences of excessive use into short and long-term effects. They could also look at alcoholic units to understand more about what excessive use might mean using the link: NHS Alcohol Units.
