Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support:

Could use the Resource: Sentence stems to support their discussion about the Harmandir Sahib; could highlight or circle areas on the Resource: Going to Amritsar to show examples of the Gurus’ teachings.

Pupils working at greater depth:

Should complete the Resource: Going to Amritsar (extension version) to identify the Sikh teachings and examples of them; could generate their own questions about the Resource: Going to Amritsar.
