Can I ask for help with my homework please??

I am studying for an Access course in Education and I have an assignment about lesson planning.

The first part is to analyse the needs of a learning group. It's says if you're not currently working in education (I'm not) then to draw on your own experiences in school. The trouble is I can't really remember! It then goes on to doing a lesson plan. I've decided to do KS1 as I have experience with that age but not in education yet (currently trying to get some work experience) Anyway I have looked up the National Curriculum and know what I want to do and have some found some useful resources on TES website.

But I'm having trouble with the analysing learning needs: is that what the student needs to learn ie the part of the curriculum? Does it mean as a group or individually?? Sorry I'm really stuck!

Get yourself the "Learning to teach in the Primary School" book - should cover everything you need to know.

Told you so
The secondary school edition covered 95% of all my essays.
Other 5% were Ofsted, D of E and my school website for their policies plus a bit of googling. Done.
