| Key aspects of consideration when planning or implementing this bansho | Use arrows to connect words and visually show the relationships between characters and events. Analyze the distribution of pupil responses to identify key points of interest in the story. Recognize blank spaces on the board as indicators of unexplored aspects, guiding future discussions. Pose reflective questions while writing on the board. |
| Potential adjustments to bansho when teaching the same lesson | Use the interactive board next to board to show videos or images to help pupils grasp a better understanding of the wartime context. If every pupil had access to a digital device and utilized a collaborative application, all summaries could be displayed on-screen in real-time. This would allow pupils to visually compare their interpretations, making it easier to recognize similarities and differences. |
