One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and he went on to become an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

Teaching grammar: our viewpoint “The moment you engage in conversation with learners about writing, being a writer and their specific compositions, you will be talking about and teaching grammar. We teach grammar without even realising…” 👇 writing4pleasure.com/2021/02/13/tea…
Pie Corbett@PieCorbett

Primary writing on England is taught round applying grammar rather than composition and effect… children bung in grammar rather than creating an effect. It makes writing dull. A stronger link with reading helps and shared composition. Being writers.

@Renlovesfungus Knowing basic grammar is fine but it is not how to teach writing. That is about teaching composition and effect - thinking and composing like a writer. Most writing sessions confuse children by grammatical terms rather than anything about composition.

19 years ago today, my brother took his own life. I have nothing profound to say. It still hurts. It will always hurt. If you ever need support, ever feel totally overwhelmed, please call 988. Reach out. Talk. You ARE loved.

Learning *about* a book, being given knowledge of context, being tested on that, annotating extracts based on what your teacher tells you, is not the same as reading a book. In KS3, students need to read lots of books & talk about them, alongside studying some in more detail.

Driving the same car for over 10 years is normal. Using the same phone until it breaks and packs up is normal. Taking food to work everyday is absolutely normal. Repeating the same clothes and shoes is very normal. Saying no to things you can't afford is very normal. Be normal.

@melina_b_harris i don't like saying this but it was my son Eddie's death which precipitated mass vaccination of children with Men A and C vaccine. I can tell the story another time, but it was off the back of a radio interview I did alongside the Chief Medical Officer just after Eddie died.
