@keithdunn Are there any women still running?

Eight runners remain on loop 2. #BM100

#NewProfilePic Decided to come back to X. Mainly so I can follow the Barkley Marathons @keithdunn #barkleymarathons

Just casually watching #SaturdayNightTakeaway … Surely I can’t be the only one! 😂😂😂 (excuse the poor quality photo) @antanddec @StephenMulhern @itvtakeaway #familyfun #thatsunfortunate

Any English teachers looking for a new job in the West Yorkshire area? Fabulous department. Realistic and supportive SLT. Great kids! Please share!

@NG26731 Arranging the dishwasher incorrectly. And by incorrectly I mean not the way I do it.

@hkateaching I’d say 5/6. They acknowledge how the extract progresses, have some appropriate terminology and investigate the meanings produced from the structure. Development would have got them higher marks.

Help please… what would you mark this LP1, Q3 response?

@clouddd231 @Team_English1 I taught resits last year. We did lots of ‘writing for life’ stuff and developed literacy skills for the workplace, as well as trying to maintain their interest with different genres of reading. Egs writing CVS, email etiquette, presentations/speeches, debates etc

How do teachers of re-sit GCSE approach Autumn T2 after they have sat the Nov exam and are waiting for results? I usually do weekly writing projects for each genre for P2Q5, e.g. writing an article on social media etc, but interested to see what others do @Team_English1

@MrBeast There is no way this is legit. Like if you agree (who is this @MrBeast anyway?)

Whoever has the most liked reply to this in 48 hours gets all my Twitter revenue for the next month!

Those of you who have lost and have mixed emotions about #FathersDay2023 I get you.... I've got you.... Talk about him. Remember him. Shed tears. Breathe it in deeply. Smile. Live. You are here. You make him proud. It's ok to feel all the feels. ❤️🤲🏽🙏🏽❤️

@HollyBella33493 Thank you! Ooohhh I’ve done two years worth of lessons on women’s bodies for Handmaids. Not the best Paris texts in my opinion. Fave Duffy poems 💕

@MrsKSmith1990 Hi, this was the gest of it: Paris - first experiences of Paris in 'Foreign Correspondent' and 'Visiting Paris' Handmaid's - presentation of past experiences or the significance of women's physical appearance Duffy - love in 'Valentine' or confusion in 'Cliche Kid' 🤗

Anyone know what the paper 1 was like for AQA English language and literature A level??? Wanting to know the Qs for a Paris, Handmaids and Duffy. An anxious teacher on maternity leave!!! 😬#teachertwitter #aqaenglish #alevel #langlit #exams

@jonnyenglishDC @Team_English1 We do PETERC tend to treat it as a checklist rather than students feeling tied to this order. Reader response = what we think/feel/learn/understand. Often they get stuck on emotions so what we learn sometimes frees them. Context = historical, social, political and big themes 😊

@Team_English1 Starting to plan for our GCSE Lit programme next year. We currently teach PETERC paragraphs (point, evidence, technique, explore, reader, context) but find that students can get stuck on technique & reader response. Does anybody have any suggestions please?

And I did it again! I may be on maternity leave but I am still eager to know what comes up in the AQA Eng papers. Good call from me to do work on Jonathan Small and criminals for TSOF before Easter! Great extract for R and J too. So what do we think for Lit P2???

@gregjames Didn’t even get the alert! Husband did - maybe he’s one of the chosen ones?

2:59pm isn’t 3pm. HOW CAN WE TRUST IT IF YOU CAN’T SET IT OFF ON TIME

You went early you pricks. Do it at 3pm if you say it’s gonna be 3pm

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 So many typos 🤦‍♀️ *core of revision **past papers

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 2/ thought processes throughout. These are the core or revision. Methodology, strategy, tactics. I tend to do mix of past opera and own prompts such as movie stills and controversial tweets/articles. They get bored otherwise 😊

Dear @Team_English1 team, I have a group of 3 Yr. 11s who are weak and have high absence for around 8 sessions before they start their exams. I'm looking to focus on the Language GCSE. Does anyone have any 'crash course' type resources or ideas? I need high impact! #teamenglish

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 Focus on Q4 and Q5 (seems obvious as they’re the most marks). Q4 allows them to have a personal response and is ‘looser’ in terms of what is defined by methods as opposed to Q2/3. Build their stamina with creative/transactional writing prompts and get them to note their ..1/

@MissC_Drama @TraineeTwinkl @MrTs_NQTs Not easy AT ALL! But I have to say I loved doing my PGCE. It was a chance to get it wrong and experiment in the classroom. I also loved doing the assignments (weird I know) for the research and when you finish the sense of achievement is profound!

@pennywpennyw A day late but for the first time ever I got 10/10! 🙌🙌

@MrsLauraLewis @rebeccapsych101 Correct 😉

@rebeccapsych101 @MrsKSmith1990 Im assuming her due date is after Easter so her mat leave will start on the first day back of term?

26 weeks today! I realllyyyy want to work until my due date but this week has made me think it might not be possible as I’m SO exhausted! Has anyone on here done it or got close? 🤰🏼❤️💙
