Differentiation strategies: - Provide sentence starters for students who need support (We went to ____.). Use teacher modelling (I do, We do, You do). Allow verbal responses or scribed answers for students with fine-motor needs.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: - Read sentences aloud before students write. Use coloured overlays or a ruler to track one line at a time. Use larger spacing and avoid crowded text.

Extension ideas: - Challenge advanced learners to write a short heading and a two-line poem, capitalising the start of each line and any proper nouns. Check for correct capitals and punctuation.
