Excellent for low ability!April 3, 2007 SJSmith(UK) 29 out of 29 found this review helpful
Although I believe this book is aimed at TEFL/ESOL I find it a godsend for low ability. I recently moved from a school with very weak pupils in it to a special school and now it gets used even more as time fillers.
Each activity can actually be adapted to suit your surroundings and the needs of that moment - you can extend the actitivities or use them to kickstart a full lesson.
Worth the purchase even if it's used solely as a back-up.
Teaching in China?July 22, 2006 D. Porter(Ma'anshan, China) 27 out of 30 found this review helpful
This book is made for those about to teach in China.
Clear ideas that require little or no resources to teach.
It gives you the tools to go beyond whatever (if any) text book you are assigned and get some more enjoyable and effective activities into your classroom.
A fantastic book for when your lesson plan goes horribly wrong, or the dog ate it.
