Another fantastic day of poetry workshops from @parkerwords. Here’s just one of the brilliant poems Nathan helped our year 8s shape.

@jwalms93 A raw chicken…

Today our @UnityBlackpool students took part in our annual spoken word competition. Their entries were bold, thought provoking and articulate. Huge thanks to @parkerwords for his brilliant workshops and performance- our students were truly inspired. #unity #blackpool #spokenword

@jwalms93 My session with them on Thursday was one of the most enjoyable study sessions I have done in a long time. Lots of participation and genuine enthusiasm.

@MrsRCliffe @MrsWhitehead_93 this will be of interest to you.

After discussing our KS4 assessment feedback we decided our current method of students re-writing paragraphs or full questions after going through the assessment wasn’t developing their knowledge or skills as much as we wanted to, so here’s a 🧵 on our new feedback approach:

✏️Article Writing✏️ - a mini 🧵 Like many of you, a lot of my energy the last couple of months has been spent on pinning down how to approach the article for P2Q5 (AQA). My Ss prefer the P1Q5, and struggle to format an article in a clear way that isn’t a rambly venty mess…

@MrsPowerUnity @UnityTandL @UnityBlackpool It was so lovely to visit students during this workshop and look at the beautiful work they have produced. A definite wow moment!

Some more brilliant work from a Year 10 art textiles workshop with Nikki Parmenter @UnityBlackpool

@RawcliffeMrs @SPryke2 @teachals @MaryMyatt @Team_English1 @JohnCattEd @MrsWhitehead_93 I cannot wait for this. The Macbeth one is easily my most used CPD resource.

@SPryke2 @teachals @MaryMyatt @Team_English1 @JohnCattEd Very excited about this. Can we pre-order? @MrsWhitehead_93 @MrsShaw14

It’s here! Excited to share this pre-order link for ‘RTT: A Christmas Carol’. It was always going to be tough writing a follow up to ‘Macbeth’ but @teachals & I are so proud of this. Contains a foreword by the superb @MaryMyatt! @Team_English1 @JohnCattEd amazon.co.uk/dp/191526121X/…

How many conversations have you had about wheels and doors with your students today? 😂

Looking forward to getting started on this…

@AQAEnglish GCSE Language Paper Two. If you ever need two texts to juxtapose polar opposite viewpoints and perspectives… @Team_English1 @PiXLEnglish @__codexterous @Xris32 @AVisserFuray @Mathew_Lynch44

@nibhrudair @teachals @SPryke2 Agree wholeheartedly. I have shelves full of books on pedagogy but this is the most useful and informative one I own. Can’t wait for the next one.

@unity_pe @AspirePE @SSAPEDept I got to hear all about their great performance this morning in the corridor. They were very proud of themselves. Well done lads 👏

Superb effort by the Unity lads tonight. Won 2 lost 1. Well done to @AspirePE for the taking the victory on the night. Some superb performances. Milo with a stand out performance 👏👏 Thank you @AspirePE Highfield and @SSAPEDept for this half term ⚽️👏

📢🎥 Macbeth Live Stream 🎥📢 We’re thrilled to announce we will broadcast The Tragedy of Macbeth live for 5 performances only. From 27 - 30 Oct >> bit.ly/3oS0HhS

@teacherhead The best job in any school.

Everywhere I go I meet someone who is DH/AHT with responsibility for CPD/Teaching and Learning/Research - they are always so enthusiastic and excited to be doing the work - supporting teachers, sharing ideas, getting coaching moving, planning CPD. Such a brilliant job.

Today our year 11 @UnityBlackpool students focused on developing and creating counter arguments against our class thesis statements. The responses they produced were fantastic! Massive thank you to @teachals and @SPryke2 - not sure how we ever survived without Ready to Teach!

Macbeth subject knowledge - A thread! I love to use academic papers to boost my subject knowledge and will have a book on this out next year with @routledgebooks Below are some videos/resources I have made on Macbeth @Team_English1 :

@HughesHaili @routledgebooks @Team_English1 This is great! Thank you so much for sharing.
