Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: May need additional adult support while watching the film clip including checking their understanding and stressing how the issue was resolved to ensure they are not upset by any of the content of the clip.

During the role-play, children needing support could take on a role jointly with another child. They could be given time to discuss their answer out of character before returning to the role play seat to give their answer.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Could take on roles during the role-playing and ask more complex questions during this activity.
