AQA A level History - would any History teachers be open to an NEA coursework moderation swap please?

I imagine not. However, I think it’s important to remind ourselves that the linguistic starting point for many students isn’t necessarily Received Pronunciation. I’m also not an expert! Just something I’ve been pondering. Any insight or ideas would be v welcome.

Really interesting article on Multicultural London English (M.L.E.) newyorker.com/culture/person… - it reminded me of a thought I had a while ago - should students who primarily speak MLE be classified as EAL?

@MrGeorgeTowers In Ireland monks used colourfully painted high crosses to tell the story of the crucifixion to lay people. And to overcome language barriers

Question from a Y13 that I cannot answer - Pre-Reformation, as the Bible and church services were in Latin, and the laity on the whole didn't speak or understand Latin, how did ordinary people know and understand anything about Christian teachings?

Thank you for all the responses to my tweet - very informative! I’ll update my Y13 next week.

They must have received some religious education in the vernacular at some point - how and when?

@Jmosley_history Make a template of lesson slides with activities etc that you use regularly and use it a the starting point for slides that you plan. Pre-existing hinge Q slides, other CFU slides, checklists etc. Helps speed things up.

I have a session with all my trainees tomorrow what are your IT hints and tricks, and wish you had known things to help with lesson planning, teaching etc #edchat #ukedchat #teachertalk

I’ve set up an A-Level Politics teaching community so we can support each other. If you would like to join I think you can do so here. twitter.com/i/communities/…

@PaulGoldsmith73 @Nonalemkin @SPBeale Could you try again please Paul? Thank you

@PaulGoldsmith73 @Nonalemkin @SPBeale Do I not? I will try and change that.

Pearson A level politics teachers - how do you sequence your KS5 curriculum please? I tried a few things this year and not sure it was ideal. Keen for inspiration. Thoughts..? @SPBeale
