Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support:
Should be the first in their group to perform the motif; could have the Main event instructions broken down into simpler steps; could have more structured practice time with an adult or a peer mentor for their part in the performance.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Should try to use more than one dynamic within their motif, e.g. starting quieter and getting louder; could be assigned leadership roles within groups, such as simplified conducting or announcing each motif’s start.
