🌟 Extension, Differentiation & Success Criteria
Success criteria — I can:
1. Identify similes, metaphors and personification in PE-themed sentences.
2. Rewrite a phrase to change its figurative form (metaphor ↔ simile).
3. Create my own figurative language to describe movement in sport.
Extension activities (advanced learners):
- Write a short paragraph (5–7 sentences) describing a game moment using at least two different figurative devices.
- Create a mini-poster showing one metaphor and one simile about athletics, and explain the effect of each.
Differentiation strategies:
- Support: Provide sentence starters (e.g. "The runner was like...") and a small bank of verbs/adjectives.
- Scaffolded challenge: Ask learners to swap one literal sentence for a figurative one and explain their choice aloud first.
- Assessment for learning: Use one-on-one conferencing for students who need extra help; allow oral responses where writing is difficult.
