Lesson plan
Recap and recall
Show the Presentation: Device match recall. Read out the speech bubbles. In pairs, learners decide which child should get each device. Ask them to give reasons for their choices, using the features of the devices to support them. Remind learners that a feature is something about a device, like its size, shape or buttons.

Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Could use the Knowledge organiser to help them during the Recap and recall.
- Could focus on fewer mini challenges during the Main event.
- Could identify who does each task better during the Wrapping up, without giving a reason.
Learners working at a stretch:
- Could give more than one reason why a person or computer is better at a task.
- Could suggest other tasks that people or computers might be better at (e.g. cooking, reading, driving) during the Wrapping up.
