First day as a qualified English teacher in my own classroom 🥹 mixture of emotions! #ect #edutwitter

Okay, she's finished! Since teaching the essay as a piece of writing rather than as unconnected 'paragraphs', our results have been pretty great. Our SEN pupils outperformed our non-SEN pupils for the first time ever this year. However...(A thread) drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Creating some ‘one sheet’ revision resources on the Power and Conflict poems for my classes. We have a few students that missed lessons and I’m hoping these will help them and they can be homework for my year 11s! Let me know if interested and I’ll upload to Google drive 😁

@English_MrsB @FunkyPedagogy @Runrober Hi! I have just stumbled upon this resource and it looks fab, but I can't get the link to open. Is there any way you could think of getting this across to me if possible? Thank you! :)

Inspired by @FunkyPedagogy and @Runrober idea to create a character for creative writing, I’ve made this template for students to use as a quick guide. Link below if anyone would like it. 😊 drive.google.com/file/d/1eY5Bx1…

Starting the new year as I mean to go on by getting myself SUPER organised has meant that I can share the big folder of every resource I have ever shared on here all in one go. I will pin it to my profile so it never goes missing! Happy New Year to all! drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

I’m looking into plenaries for my department and I’m curious, do you use a specific plenary task across your department/ school? What types of plenaries do you find most effective? Do you use an exit pass? Responses would be much appreciated! 🫡

For anyone that is teaching Macbeth for the first time or wants teacher annotations, I have a folder on my drop box that might be handy dropbox.com/scl/fi/z9a8mem…

Having a stepped process has allowed us to access Shakespeare across a range of plays this year! 👑 Today, we had such a good lesson exploring A2, S1 of 'Macbeth' 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It was great to look at how we can make our modelling (and specifically the 'we do' phase) most effectively last week, including: 1. Focusing on WHY students have made suggestions during co-construction 2. Involving ALL pupils in the 'We' stage...

Literacy coded marking to address high-frequency errors is a must have ❗For staff, peer-assessing or self-assessing, literacy should be a priority for everyone 🙏
