Differentiation

For pupils who are struggling, the teacher will provide simplified sentence starters and a structured template for writing their news reports. They will also be paired with stronger pupils for peer support. For advanced pupils, the teacher will encourage them to add more details, use varied vocabulary, and write about more complex events, perhaps even researching a real event to report on.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Ensure pupils understand the difference between factual reporting and storytelling. Emphasize clarity, conciseness, and accuracy when writing news reports. Encourage pupils to read newspapers or news online (with supervision) to see examples of Àròkọ oníròyìn in practice.
