‘Does reading *really* matter in mathematics?’ “Even simple mathematical operations, like subtraction, is described in lots of ways in typical talk, such as ‘subtract’, ‘minus’ or ‘take away’…Teachers are constantly translating the language of maths.” alexquigley.co.uk/does-reading-r…

Good morning! I work in a school which has amazing Oracy & we've got great student resource/sentence starters which work great in KS3/KS4. We're now looking at Oracy in KS5 and how this steps up - does anyone have any ideas/tips? #oracy @Team_English1

@amy_smith117 @FifeBethan next time!!

Open evening!

It feels like there’s a tiny (don’t jinx it…) bit of breathing space happening without Year 11/13… If you or your dept. are creating new Shakespeare SOW, I’d love to give away another free copy of #HowToGetA9inShakespeare. Just RT & ♥️ #giveaway #comp #CPD #teamenglish

Hi @Team_English1 does anyone have any useful websites or tips for creating work for students who are non-attenders or who have a low attendance to help them 'catch up' and remove the fear of going back into lessons?

this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes

@kajaanan_v I have no doubt it will be your absolute Bible and you will truly understand chic. 🇫🇷🥖 Make sure you go to THE Shakespeare book shop!

@AQAEnglish @Team_English1 Hi! Does anyone know where I can find the examiner reports for this English Language exam series? I'm trying to scour Centre Services but I can't seem to find it. Thanks!

@massolit @Team_English1 Religious and political influence on Shakespeare's plays

ENGLISH TEACHERS: If we put together a course on Context for Shakespeare, which covered things like historical, cultural, political, literary (etc.) context, what kinds of things would you want it to cover? @Team_English1

BP and Shell made £20,000,000,000 in profit last year. That's expected to double this year. But Tory MPs just voted down plans to use a windfall tax on these companies to slash energy bills. They're choosing to squeeze your living standards, not the profits of the super-rich.

At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next.

@Team_English1 is there anyone who has model responses for A Streetcar Named Desire for the AQA Lit/Lang component? I've scoured everywhere but can't seem to find anything!

@5j16MissOReilly @Mr_PHuff @MaddenClare @Aoifecork67 @conorsmurf @Joe_Rolston @MrCEnglish1 @sccenglish @StMarysCollege7 We fell students to make sure their writing is SAFE - statistics, anecdotes, facts and expert opinions

@Lallysticks @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @__codexterous Thank you!!!

@MissKDonaldson @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @__codexterous DM me an email address and I'll send you what I use.

@Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @__codexterous does anyone have any resources which are tried and tested for teaching article writing (AQA Lang P2)? Thank you in advance 🙌🤞

barrshill.coventry.sch.uk/about-us/vacan… If you're interested in being a Teacher of English at my amazing school in Coventry please get in touch! 🌟🍎

We have Y11 mock exams next week for Language and it seems incredibly futile to ask them to answer questions on forms which aren't on the AQA pre-release... What autobiographies/essays do people know for Lang P2? Has anyone hashed a mock paper of this together yet? Thanks!
