I teach a number of low ability classes. I want my pupils to do as well as they can. So here are a number of resources that I have developed to help them do that. From writing frames to entire lessons. I am currently making themed topics to rope in pupils, e.g. Disney themes.

This writing frame is used to help pupils practice with their extended writing questions in Science. It uses smaller steps and leading questions for pupils to be able to answer the large question that they would see in the exam. The frame include keywords that the pupils should use in their answer and a picture in the center, either from the question itself or as a visual prompt. This is really useful for all pupils and ticks that literacy box!
This unit is for a low ability KS3 class. The pretense of the unit is based on the film Gnomeo and Juliet to gain interest. Lessons include pH of soils and how strong acid rain must be to dissolve Juliet's tower.
This is a low ability KS3 lesson, with a Gnomeo and Juliet theme.
Pupils start by doing a downword to refresh keywords from the topic. The teacher will then demonstrate the test for hydrogen, explaining that hydrogen is made instead of water during this reaction. Pupils do an experiment to see which metal produces the most hydrogen in 20 seconds. There is then an AfL task to see if pupils can remember how to name salts, using mini white boards. Pupils then do some word equations. The exit ticket involves pupils self assessing their word equations and attempting symbol equations.
This is for a low ability KS3 class, with a Star Wars theme.
The pupils begin by discussing how they would show movement on a picture.
They then try drawing some arrows on some scenarios. This is then extended by pupils calculating resultant forces of each scenario.
Pupils then do the Forces Dance Mat, the Star Wars music for this is in the notes section of the dancing Darth Vadar.
Finally, pupils tweet the Stormtroopers on how force diagrams work
This is a KS3 lesson, with a Zombie theme.
Pupils start by completing a basic comprehension task. There are two available for different abilities.
Pupils then are given a scenario and are asked to "Think, Pair, Share". After the discussion, a video (link in the notes section of the slide) is shown and pupils can then build on their ideas from the initial discussion.
Pupils then do a Silent Sort to find out how vaccines work. The instructions are on the PowerPoint slide.
Using what they have just leaned pupils use the guidance given to write a letter.
Finally pupils complete a comic stripe to show how vaccines work.
This writing frame is used to help pupils practice with their extended writing questions in Science. It uses smaller steps and leading questions for pupils to be able to answer the large question that they would see in the exam. The frame include keywords that the pupils should use in their answer, a success criteria (directly from the mark scheme) and a picture in the center, either from the question itself or as a visual prompt. This is really useful for all pupils and ticks that literacy box!
