Catering for diversity

(detail any adjustments considerations for educational/resource

adjustments)

The school system is built in a catering system as students have been

separated according to their academic skills. The task includes
students to invert an existing poem into their own; therefore students
can create their poem at their own ability. All students are at different
writing and learning levels, therefore the activity catered at their own
learning level.
Students will bring different work, as they need to be imaginative
as their poem needs to be a horror theme and it depends on their
creativity.
Students, who finish their task early, are asked to re-write their
poems in a neat form.
