Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support:

Year 1: Will benefit from working in a group with someone who has had experience of going to a bank and should undertake a more simple part in the role play, such as withdrawing money from their account.

Year 2: Could just look at each individual detail about the two bank accounts and identify which is better for that detail.

Pupils working at greater depth:

Year 1: Could practise role-playing both the part of the bank assistant and the customer, adapting their language as they do so.

Year 2: Can be challenged to role-play a greater range of activities in the bank. They can also try to explain the difference between a ‘high-street’ bank and an online bank.
