Classroom hack: I use my visualizer every day but found being restricted to sitting down behind my desk in order to model was a hindrance... behold my visualizer elevated on a bookcase, lectern-style, adorned with relevant tier 2 vocab for Macbeth and AIC #TeamEnglish

@MissHTerry I love this, just what my classroom needs! Do you have a copy available to share?

@AVisserFuray @AViewaskew Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

@MissHSpeed @AViewaskew It was one of the live sessions, which have now been uploaded - in a different place to the pre-recorded ones. It is a great session!

More fab ideas/information from @AViewaskew telling us about how her school has embedded Reciprocal Reader strategies across the curriculum. She is offering a longer, free RR session Thurs 9/7 at 7:30 - not be be missed. #TENConline

As teachers we have a duty to equip pupils with the knowledge to become informed citizens and lessons reflecting current events are key. This lesson explores BLM and the statue debate with a focus on discussion and language paper 2 skills @Team_English1 docs.google.com/file/d/1J7Mxh6…

@MrsCIHart @SPryke2 @Tom_Briars @LitdriveUK @Team_English1 Thank you so much! This has made my day 😊

@MissHSpeed @SPryke2 @Tom_Briars @LitdriveUK @Team_English1 I have to tell you this has absolutely revolutionised the way I teach AIC. Brilliant brilliant resources. The best I’ve ever found on twitter. I used them in their entirety with my Y10 class and they have progressed so much. Thank you for your generosity.

Hopefully this will help someone today! 14 lessons on An Inspector Calls exploring characters, themes and ideas. Huge thank you to @SPryke2, @Tom_Briars and all resource creators who have inspired me on twitter and @LitdriveUK @Team_English1 #TeamEnglish drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@Mrs_Badham @Team_English1 The template is included in this link! drive.google.com/open?id=1-obH4…

@Team_English1 Someone posted this fab resource the other day - does anyone know who it was? Would love to grab the template to make more of them!

@MissLouth8 @LitdriveUK @Team_English1 This looks great! Thanks for sharing 😊

@_ALHJ @Team_English1 Thank you! Boys in my class are football obsessed so enjoyed getting involved with discussion, great way to engage them

@MissHSpeed @Team_English1 This looks amazing! Definitely going to steal this idea, my Y10 boys will love it

Racism in football lesson for year 8 through the lens of analysing writer’s viewpoints; whole class fiercely engaged in current affairs and discussed meaningful ways of tackling racism in sport @Team_English1 drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@TeacherBusy @Team_English1 Thank you! I’m afraid I don’t as this was just a one off lesson ☺️

@MissHSpeed @Team_English1 This lesson is AMAZING! I hope you don't mind me stealing, do you have any other lessons familiarly on the environment?

Why I love teaching English: you are a teacher of everything! Year 8 asked me if it was true that the Amazon is burning so I’m aiming to enhance their cultural capital via some topical analysis of the catastrophic language used in the news @Team_English1 drive.google.com/open?id=1RXwh1…

@MissCH2016 This is the full article on the Amazon Fires, hope it helps! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Thanks @MissHSpeed on yours - have you the documents the powerpoint is on? Thanks

Looking high and low for the best texts on Greta Thunberg and Climate change for a Lang Paper 2 lesson. Has anyone got any resources to share which work well? #teamenglish

@mrs_denglish @Team_English1 A condensed version I tweaked is in the google drive link but original is here: google.co.uk/amp/s/www.spec…

@MissHSpeed @Team_English1 Ooooh! Do you have a link to the article?

Created this after pupils asked if teaching An Inspector Calls could be considered propaganda, the lesson explores a hyperbolic article condemning AIC and contains challenging vocabulary, ideal for stretching HA discussion #TeamEnglish @Team_English1 drive.google.com/open?id=1RtxMX…

More Word Wheels created, following my Macbeth ones. Thanks to @MissHSpeed for the Mr B one! @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK dropbox.com/sh/6u05foukqsr…

@thecockerill Thank you for sharing! Very interesting how you break up the poetry cluster by theme across the curriculum, I always thought this would be best for helping pupils to craft clear links between poems

If you’re excited about reimagining your curriculum for next year, you must read this: ‘why a thematic curriculum is brilliant for Key Stage 3 English (and why it’s also great for your GCSE students too).’ #engchatuk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">anthonycockerill.com/2019/05/24/the… #edu #teamenglish

@JenniferCole73 @MrFinlayBusEd Stationary cupboard goals!

@MrFinlayBusEd We need this @MissHSpeed

Sheila vocab wheel, useful for any last minute AIC revision to focus pupils on the language needed to be critical and exploratory #TeamEnglish drive.google.com/file/d/1bDhb66…

@missstewartb This looks amazing! 😊

Thanks to @MissHSpeed for sharing! Looking forward to seeing how this works with Y8 tomorrow!
