Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: You may wish to group children according to their literacy ability during this lesson, and then provide the support mechanisms that you would usually use for a writing task (Teacher/TA support, writing frame, vocabulary list etc).
Pupils working at greater depth: These children could be encouraged to set their news headlines to a rhythm or even a pitch so that they are chanted or sung along in time to the music rather than just called out over the top.
