Differentiation There is a learning assistant who supports the class. I have asked her to work alongside Eveline who is an ESL student, who sometimes requires extra support in her written work. She will be also be supporting Ali by keeping him focused on the tasks and give general group support to students if they need help, when I am helping others.

There are 5 ESL students, who sometimes need extra support with spelling and grammar. Eveliene sometimes shies away from participating, and answering questions, I will aim to involve her in the discussions and

get to work with the more vocal students so they can feed off each other. I will aim to keep Reece, Kaainat, Sabrina on task and focused as they often display off task behaviour, e.g talking over

others. I will do this by keeping them engaged in the discussions and activities. I will challenge Mona-Lisa and Alexandra further too critically think and analyse the topic, as they have shown clear

understanding of the subject knowledge. I will try to engage all the learners to think critically to enhance their learning and understanding

Health and Safety: No scheduled fire alarms, in case of fire alarm take students to the nearest fire exit and to the designated area
