Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could outline the basic shapes over the top of the images on the Activity: Plant images; could use the Activity: Sketching, where shapes are pre-drawn and ready to trace over or be used as shape templates; could choose from a limited number of items with fewer shapes, such as a leaf or simple flower; could have slide 4 of the Presentation: See like an artist displayed on the board and use it as an example when they complete their own sketches.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should select more complex objects; could use shading to add tone.
