Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: May need additional support with the scenarios and would benefit working together in a group with an adult if possible. They could also use the version of the sheet with the first scenario completed: Activity: Health concerns scenarios – support version.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be challenged to give a wider range of answers to the scenarios, for example ask for three possible answers for each question and include specific sources of help.
