Abstract
Duckworth and Tummons (2010) hold emphasis on the need to promote wider participation, inclusive practice and differentiation.   These concepts are borne out of the reality that learners in the lifelong learning sector are traditionally at risk of social exclusion and some find it difficult to engage in the teaching and learning process, especially when their experiences of learning are sometimes a negative one or they did not engage in this process the first time around at school.   Inclusive practice highlights possible seen or unseen disabilities and learning difficulties.   Differentiation is a concept that focuses on the individuality of learners and how some students learn in different ways. This report will outline the planning, delivery and evaluation of a creative activity that addresses these issues.   Using a reflective model the effectiveness of this activity and the lesson as a whole has been evaluated.   The report concludes that, if the recommendations are implemented, this activity is effective in promoting participation, inclusion and deeper learning.
