Additional information

Differentiation - how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment - how are you planning to check learners' learning?

Health and safety check

ICT links

Less able students - greater support by means of prompts, visuals or writing difficult words on the blackboard

More able students - independent work on definite tasks with little/no support

While group or pair work more able students can also provide less able students with additional support

through observation

• Work with the SMART board not more than 10 minutes

• Make a dynamic break in the middle of the lesson

• Monitor classroom space when students start moving around

• Use water based markers

• Check sockets' safety
