Differentiation
The interactive nature of the resource will appeal to children of all abilities. There is further guidance in these teachers' notes to help you provide suitable extension activities and research topics.

Children with additional needs may benefit from some of the following strategies:

• Pair up children in supporting partnerships to complete the reading and writing elements.
• Encourage them to practice sharing their opinions with a 'talk partner' before speaking to a larger group or class.
• Small groups of children can work together to discuss ideas and complete the online activities.
• Make notes for children of key points that they should include in their individual work or during the whole class discussions.
• Take time to explore the site and direct children to the glossary to help them with new vocabulary.
• Reinforce learning through using the activity sheets.
• Encourage the children to re-visit the online activities and try them again.

Sensitive issues
Inevitably with this subject, some of your students may have personal experience of issues that are explored. This might be the effects of divorce and separation or perhaps family members have been victims of crime or been in trouble with the law. You will probably know who in your class this may affect, but be prepared for any disclosures.

It is especially important that these students are not excluded from the activities. They will need to know that there is someone in school whom they can spend time with and that they will have a chance to talk and be listened to. If you're worried about a student, speak to a member of your senior management team and voice your concern. You may decide that this is an appropriate time to trigger your school's Child Protection Policy.
