I saved this brilliant read by @thisiskeiraw for the summer hols and it did not disappoint. Crime, nostalgia and a paranormal twist in 1980s Manchester. I cannot wait to ‘go back to the ballroom’ when the next book is released in November! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@MissPaget @meh50187 The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury.

@MissL_Amos None of This is True is brilliant!

❤️😭

@_krogg One of mine likened themselves to Gordon Ramsey…

Did anyone else’s students mention that they were “cooking” in the literature exam today? I have only heard this just this week!

@Positivteacha Thank you for this. I heard this term for the first time the other day in a lesson with Yr 7. I did some Googling but couldn’t find anything as comprehensive as this. I’ll be sharing it with other members of staff at school. Thank you again!

@MissL_Amos Ooh what show is this?

Finished! How entrances, exits and interruptions tell the story of truth and denial in An Inspector Calls. First draft so I anticipate edits based on new ideas/ feedback. Editable version in link, use and chuck as needed @Team_English1 #teamenglish dropbox.com/sh/mbt8tn8o20h…

This is getting quite a bit of attention today - are people planning for the final 4/5 weeks after Easter? If so - I hope they help @Team_English1

@Mathew_Lynch44 Absolutely not. Never. Nope. 😱

What do I think? I think no. Just no. I got clammy palms just watching!

It was an absolute joy taking 40 Yr10 students to see this at @LeedsPlayhouse. A brilliant production that our students loved. ❤️

A thread of practice P2 Q5 questions, as I think of them. Not promising they'll all be hugely original but hopefully you'll find some ideas. 1/

@Team_English1 ages ago someone posted a vocabulary table with opposites in eg malevolent and benevolent thought I saved it to bookmarks but can't find it now! Can anyone help???
