Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support:

Could order the events of the story as a group and complete a three-part storyboard, drawing a beginning, middle and end; should use the Resource: Who were Rama and Sita? (support) to write a keyword in each section.

Pupils working at greater depth:

Should write their own story of Rama and Sita, detailing the key events in full sentences and using the key vocabulary correctly; should write a sentence explaining why candles are important to many Hindu people.
