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.

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.

Nothing shocking or extremely new but it is a good and practical collection of relatively short activities which require no or simple ressources in the classroom.

Lessons from Nothing
Good little handbook for on the spot lesson creation or ideas generation. A must for in-the-middle-of-nowhere jobs. Helped me with my portfolio and my lesson planing for my exams.

Was not as useful as I had hoped
While many of the exercises are, as they indicate, created from nothing.. I found it hard to take the exercises & make them applicable to the adult groups that I had. Read more
