29. Differentiation through ‘Modeling’ Supports students to process complex tasks Sets minimum expectations

30. Example 1: Triumph at Dunkirk: British Troops return victorious to fight another day! I think Dunkirk was a victory for the British. Evidence to support this comes from Source 3 which tells me that “it is clear that they, (the soldiers) have come back in glory; that their morale is as high as ever and that they are anxious to be back again”. This means that they did not feel defeated and wanted to continue fighting. From my own knowledge, I know that 300,000 men were rescued and that this was a significant number of men. This was important to the long term future of the war because it meant that the men could fight again another day.

33. My Advert Story Board I have used alliteration to give a catchy title about Dunkirk and the fact that I think it was a disaster. Disaster at Dunkirk Sources 1 and 5 both show examples of the failures. For example, source 1 tells us that a German pilot killed many soldiers while they waited on the beaches, “the beaches were jammed with soldiers. I went up and down spaying them with bullets” This shows us that the evacuation was not quick enough. This photo shows the equipment which was left on the beach However, the German pilot is the enemy and he may have an unreliable interpretation of what happened, making himself look more successful than he actually was. Main image here Find a relevant picture I think Dunkirk was a disaster for the British. While they saved 300,000 troops and this is an achievement, I feel that the price paid was too high. Find a picture that matches your point Find a relevant picture interpretations change over time for many reasons. One reason may be that during a war, it was important that the people believed they could win the war so made out it was a victory. After the war is over, people can be more honest.

Don’t give us textbooks all the time, it’s boring. I like making colourful posters like in Science”(Yr 9 RS student) • “I find writing difficult and like the help sheets because they help me finish the work at the same time as my friends” (Yr 8 student) • I like it when the teacher allows me work at my own pace and gives me A Level work (KS4 G&T student) • “I like it when my teacher talks to me individually in lessons and makes me think about how I could improve my work before it is finished” Yr 9 student 2012 • “I enjoyed being able to chose the worksheet activity's that I completed in the lesson. I chose the difficult reading activity first and then the postcard for the second activity – I think my homework was better because I could do what worked for me in the lesson”. • I like the fact my book is marked regularly but don’t like re-doing work. The model answers are helpful. KS4 student
