Your lesson prompt ↗

Help me plan an activity for primary learners about comparing everyday water use in Japan and Thailand. First ask for my year group, programme, objective and permitted materials. Include an opening question, a shared activity and an independent check. Help learners separate an observation from an assumption about another community. Do not invent school assessment criteria or lesson sequences.

Build the practice

Move from an initial response to an explanation you can inspect. Add support where it helps without giving away the answer.

Open the worksheet prompt ↗
