Illiterate students in mixed ability set - ta suggested I give the whole class colouring in for the whole lesson as the literacy levels of 5 pupils is low or non-existent (literally can't write their names). But obviously this disadvantages the kids with measurable literacy levels (some seemed quite able to analyse data too!!).
It was my first lesson with this group and now I'm left scratching my head... How the hell am I meant to introduce essential vocabulary?? I can't conscionably 'dumb it down' enough to inhibit the progress of the majority... How can I test these kids?? Not sure how to differentiate this... it's year 7 science.
Help!!!
