Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
May be unable to make a continuous line drawing so allow them to take their pencil away from the page when needed; should be encouraged to look carefully at the mirror/photo, could trace over a photograph of themselves instead; may need to limit the choice of materials for the background; could produce one background, either painted or collaged, depending on ability and preference.
