Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support
Year 3: May benefit from being given a specific audience for their leaflet, for example younger children and could use the Activity: Recycling leaflet template for their fact sheet. Provide them with books and other information sources.
Year 4: Could use the support version of the Activity: Reusing things with the items already suggested.
Pupils working at greater depth
Year 3: Should be expected to include more facts within their information sheet and to add persuasive elements to encourage people to recycle more.
Year 4: Can be challenged to provide a greater range of benefits and ways to reuse things.
