I am an ESL teacher overseas and I will soon have a group of 10 or 11 6th grade boys that probably all have ADHD and/or learning disabilities and currently know little to no English. I had them last year mixed with kids who did not have difficulty paying attention or other learning disabilities, and I have decided to seperate them this next year to try a more effective approach for both groups. I need some extremely high energy (or extremely interesting and calming) lesson plans that can be done with very little space (I have a very small room and the weather doesn't always cooperate for outdoors activities), and little to no extra materials besides paper, pencils, a black board, etc... I really need to go over the basics with them again (numbers, colors, alphabet, etc...) and any other subjects you can think of for beginning ESL students. I don't really have a curriculum to follow. Also, any ideas you have on classroom management with these boys would also be welcome.
