Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could be given one or two examples of information design to focus on from the Presentation: Information design; could be asked to think about how those examples are used in everyday life; could compare a variety of good and bad examples of posters, signs, etc. for a direct visual correlation to what makes information design successful and unsuccessful.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should discuss their own experiences of information design and any good or bad examples they may have observed; should be encouraged to be critical in analysing examples observed and to suggest ways they could be improved; could be prompted to consider inclusive design for those with additional needs, e.g. braille, visual impairment, etc.
