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 is a lesson aimed for a low ability KS3 class and has a theme of Disney's Frozen.
Pupils begin with trying to see how many words they can make out of one of the lesson's keywords.
Pupils then watch a video to get the keywords for the lesson and complete a question sheet as they do so.
Pupils then do 3 experiments that show dissolution.
Finally pupils do a code breaker that goes through the keywords of the lesson again.
For homework pupils watch a video and write a letter to Anna describing the difference between melting and dissolving.
This is for a KS3 class, but could be used for KS4 too. It is Star Wars themed.
Pupils begin by doing a code breaker, which will give them the equation to calculate speed.
Pupils then watch a Star War Mario Kart race and use a stopwatch to determine when events in the race happened, and filling out the data entry sheet (this has the speed Mario was going at each point).
Pupils then turn their data into a graph and calculate the distance between set point on the graph by drawing rectangles and triangles and calculating area.
Pupils then finally complete an exit ticket, which has a number of speed questions on it.
This unit is for a low ability KS3 class. The pretense of the unit is based on Zombies to gain interest. Lessons types of microbes, viruses and types of drugs.
