Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can work with a partner or in a group with an adult to discuss their own experience family and how it differs or is similar to some of the families on the poster.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be challenged to give more detailed answers to the questions and to consider whether they are stereotyping when making assumptions about the families.
