This has been a real labour of love, I've really enjoyed creating this booklet! Short stories on @AccReader! Here is the dropbox link: dropbox.com/sh/z4fskx52ptk… All the covers correlate with the AR quiz, the ZPD & points are all mentioned and there are reading reflection questions!

And for some oracy and writing support, here’s a link to these one page guides using @TheWritingRevol and @voice21oracy expertise! Let me know if you find them useful and if you want to see anything else @EnglishWales @Team_English1 @CSC_langlitcomm drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@HughesHaili I work at a gorgeous school in Bangkok and will be HOD next AY - we would be keen to work with such a fantastic educator as you!

RT welcome! I'm looking at heading over to Thailand in November (last couple of weeks) and looking to work with some schools. Please get in touch 🙏

@nat_leewhite @lesserbyname @LitdriveUK I’ve uploaded them onto LitDrive litdrive.org.uk/resources/quot… Analytical paragraphs: P&C: litdrive.org.uk/resources/pc-a… Macbeth: litdrive.org.uk/resources/macb… Let me know if you’d like me to email them as well x

@MissSwarbrick @lesserbyname @LitdriveUK Have you posted these anywhere? Thanks 😊

RESOURCE ALERT! Retrieval practice really is the best way to cement that knowledge of key quotations in the run-up to Year 11s GCSE literature exams; hopefully others find these useful. Inspired by @MissSwarbrick , thanks for the format! @LitdriveUK dropbox.com/scl/fi/4qidyn9…

@TeachingNicola This looks fantastic! I would love a link if possible ☺️ my email is hswarbrick@carrhill.lancs.sch.uk

Put together some revision resources for Yr11. A countdown calendar from Easter until the exam with suggested tasks, a colour coded revision table and some double sided A6 cue cards for key quotes. Procrastination at its best! Let me know if you fancy them

@MissSFEnglish I always like to use sentence stems, the author was attempting to challenge/criticise/celebrate/reveal the importance of and most the P&C poems are political e.g WP expose the hypocrisy and ignorance of Western civilisation and reveal the horrific collateral damage of war

I’m having a crisis about P+C poetry. I get the analysis, I get the comparison, I get the context.. what I am struggling with now is the intention. What is the intention behind each poem? And then weaving this in. Does anyone have any CPD/resources to help?🙏🏻

So so proud of my year 11 class, they’re the first class I’ve taken through to exams due to covid and I couldn’t be more proud of them - throughout the two years I’ve had them they’ve worked their socks off and their hard work has paid off 💕

@MsDavisEnglish @emma_dunderdale @Team_English1 I love using the openings of 1984 and Rebecca! Because description and world building.

This day in 1954, Alan Turing took his life by his own hand, driven to death by society’s inability to accept a different form of sexuality. He invented the modern computer. Whatever device you are reading this on, came from his genius.  #PrideMonth

Over the moon for the Blood Brothers question on childhood experiences! As a class we planned for a childhood question yesterday so I just know they all went into it feeling prepared 📝

Putting my Lit Paper 1 predictions out there into the universe… For P&C I’m thinking Power of Nature with Storm on the Island or identity/memory with My Last Duchess For Blood Brothers it may be childhood/growing up or Sammy & Violence 😖😖 What does everyone else think?!

@MikeSegalov Hello, I run a Pride group for students in my school. It’s a lovely environment, this week 4 of them have helped present assemblies for how to be an ally and we do things like make a newsletter for the school etc

Just over a month to go until ‘RTT: A Christmas Carol’ is released on June 17th! We can’t wait to hear what people think of it. In the meantime, here are @funkypedagogy’s thoughts! @SPryke2 @JohnCattEd @Team_English1 amazon.co.uk/Ready-Teach-Ch…

When you ask people to name a book that changed their lives, they almost always name a children's book. And they always remember, with the intensity of a religious experience, the feeling they had when they were reading it. Those books go so deep, they become part of us forever.
