Additionalinformation

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Critical thinking

More support:

• More support:

• Provide less able learners with the names of the hobbies

• Create mixed ability groups for discussion.

• More able learners:

Make analysis of their work and help weaker ones to arrange information.

• Monitor learners to check they can write correct words.

• Observe learners when participating in speaking. Did each learner contribute to the speaking and discussion? If not, why not?

• Learners managed to fill in the table of hobbies, distributing different hobbies into four columns.

Some questions provide critical thinking while answering to them.
