Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Some children may need to work in a small group supported by an adult to enable the discussion task. Could use the more structured writing frame provided on Activity: Letter template- support version. If writing the letter isn’t a suitable task, children could draw a cartoon with speech bubbles to present their ideas or make an advice video during the independent activity.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Could include a description in their letter of why the behaviour caused a problem but without placing blame, to show that they fully understand the impact of sharing certain information online.
