Hi, has anyone got any good texts for P1 Q3 structure. Introducing it to Yr 9. Thanks! @Team_English1 @EnglishWales

You probably already know I'm a big fan of teaching motifs as a way for students to think about texts holistically. There are lots of these in Macbeth and A Christmas Carol BUT not much has been said about 'An Inspector Calls' - 💵📸🥂 So a quick thread 🧵 for @Team_English1

Year 11 editing and improving their work makes my weekend marking have a “Mr Fisher” moment! So proud!!! 🙌👏👏

Read more books. Read to escape reality. Read to understand reality. Read to challenge what you believe. Read to think better. Read to write better. Read to argue better. Read to know yourself. Read to build something. A single book can completely rewire your brain.

Such an icon. RIP Moira ❤️

What's everyone reading this weekend?

"I live on a street with a lot of elderly neighbors. Mrs. Higgins lives next door. She’s 90. Every night at 5 PM, she turns on her porch light. If the light isn't on by 5:15, I go over. It’s our silent code. Last week, 5:30 came. No light. I ran over. I knocked. No answer. I used the spare key she gave me. She was in the kitchen, confused. The power had gone out in her section of the house, and she couldn't reach the fuse box. She was sitting in the dark, afraid. 'I knew you’d come,' she said when she saw my flashlight. I fixed the fuse. We had tea. 'You’re a good neighbor,' she said. 'No,' I said. 'I’m just watching the light.' We are all just walking each other home in the dark. Look for the lights. And if one goes out, go knock. It takes five minutes to save a life."

Giveaway! I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase. Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose? (UK only)

We wish we could have caught the moment Elliot’s name was called out as the winner of the Golden Ticket draw this afternoon. If we could bottle that reaction up and keep it, we most certainly would! Well done to everyone who had entries. We are 💯 % proud! #wah #rewards

@HarperGScience @HarperGreen Love this!

Mr Connor’s Gardening Club transfered their garlic cloves from test tubes to the raised beds in the Harper Green garden yesterday. The first of many vegetables to go in there! Great work! @HarperGreen

I observed a lesson in a school last week where they were revising Macbeth and it reminded me of this lecture I once gave to students aiming for a grade 7-9 in English Lit @FgcsInfo on Macbeth and Kingship (Ideas ‘magpied’ from everywhere). Slides here: docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Year 11, AIC revision lessons & printable resources - Social Class and now Women in the folder. 🔗🔗🔗👇👇
