Second, as suggested earlier, I prepared two sets of
worksheet namely remedial and enrichment worksheet to
cater the needs of my pupils. The content of the two sets
of worksheet are the same. The thing that marked the
difference between the two sets of worksheet is the level
of guidance. There is more guidance in remedial
worksheet which means that more prompts are provided
for remedial pupils to complete the task. For enrichment
pupils, the prompts are lesser and they need more solid
language foundation to answer the task. This is
implemented successfully in my reading and writing
lesson where pupils of high ability find the worksheet to
be challenging whereas pupils of low ability were able to
complete the task.

I used jazz chant to drill pupils pronunciation because
