So the waves of anxiety are kicking in more now 😫😰 Is anyone else stressing about the realisation that in exactly 2 weeks, they will be in charge of many pupils for the first time since March? 😱😦 #NQTsecondary #NQT #edutwitter #english #impostersyndrome

Two critical theory resources for Macbeth on names

Finished teaching #Macbeth to my top set Y10 last week - Tomorrow we do a knowledge check, then we plan for an essay! Hoping to get them pushing conceptually by considering the tragic structure of the play. #gcselit

@engteacherabro2 I have trialled using this approach.

Trying to solve the problem of KS3 homework or cover work? Then these booklets might be useful to you. 6 thematic reading booklets for KS3 with a variety of tasks and a reading log! Ready to print! litbittz.etsy.com/listing/443738… #coverwork #homework #ks3english #learning #teamenglish

Huge thank you to @Seadragonseeker for some “cracking” mini extracts - I am looking forward to using these tomorrow with 11/1&2 during our Easter revision stint! 🐣🐣 🔗🔗🔗 dropbox.com/scl/fo/z5zdnua…

I have tried to keep up with all the messages for lessons etc. Here is the link though: I finally managed to get a dropbox working - well at least I hope it works! Year 11 Final Stint lessons & more will be added this week. 😊dropbox.com/scl/fo/bxfdg5s…

@SHEduTeach Could you send this over to me please! This is fabulous!!

Y9 will study war poetry next half term. In the past, we have exclusively focused on WW1 poetry, but this year we’ve decided to look at other conflicts. I am so excited to teach our scholars ‘If I Must Die’ by Dr Refaat Alareer, to explore the hope and resistance in his work ❤️

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 😁

NEW 🚨 SIX AQA Language Paper Packs Using the AQA KS3 packs Each one has: ✅ Insert ✅ Paper - all 5 Qs ✅ Mark Scheme The idea is students should be able to access them independently to build confidence with the Q styles.

@K2SR7 Could you send me this lesson please, it looks brilliant!

Identifying rhetorical devices with Year 9 today produced some very good ideas for us to analyse in more depth tomorrow 💪

I always sneak a visual literacy activity into my intro. lessons on the Single Text. Whilst prepping to teach 'Macbeth', I came across this image from the Japanese art director Yuni Yoshida. I had to incorporate it into the activity. There is so much going on here! #EdChatIE

By far the best task I have for retrieval practice. Love the effort the pupils put in

In the canteen, we display a rolling PPT: things that have happened in school, club timetables, news, weather etc. Great for culture! We also show things to prompt convos - dingbats, jokes, facts... I'm sharing the first 50 days here in case they are of use to anyone else! tinyurl.com/canteenICS

1/2 Now you can download all 5 Reframing behaviour posters from my shared drive. 25 tools for managing positive behaviour in the classroom. Poster number 6 is on its way. If you would like to contribute or chip in with your routine or hack drop me a line #edutwitter

It's publication day! So I'd like to give a copy of my new book away. Please RT and I'll pick a winner next week @Team_English1

Knowledge and ideas have to come first. Time and help must be given to develop them. The difficult part about an exam question such as "How does Shakespeare present ambition in Macbeth" or "How does Stevenson present hypocrisy?" is that those are conceptually challenging! ....1/
