Pupils needing extra support: Can use very simple patterns as they develop confidence, such as zig-zag lines, small circles, etc.

They may find it easier to just draw with a pencil; they may also be more comfortable with more straightforward templates with fewer areas to fill. 

Pupils working at greater depth: Should be asked to work more creatively with their patterns and designs and to a high technical level, considering how the type of pattern used can imply shade and light according to its density.
