Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Should focus on the positive consequences of a good habit and the negative consequences of the bad habit. Using the resource Activity: Good and bad habits – example as a model, they could generate their own ideas around sleep habits.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should work with a greater range of consequences and make the link between positive and negatives for good and bad habits i.e. that they are often the opposite.
