Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Will find it helpful to tack or tape down viewfinders to keep them in place; may find it hard to draw what is inside the viewfinder and they could trace the lines and shapes within the frame; might need to stick this to a window to be able to see through the photo.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should be encouraged to be expressive and experimental with their drawing and tools, such as drawing with sticks dipped in paint or ink or adding flourishes of colour.
