🪄 A labour of love! 🪄These folding bookmarks were dreamed up when a student said they can easily method spot but cannot naturally work out the effect of it. I've made them on Lang, structure and general word/sentence types. SO many ways to using these. stan.store/secondaryengli…

New Blog about the comparison element of Unseen if useful. Links to the blog on refreshing our approach last week: @Team_English1 susansenglish.wordpress.com/2025/09/27/why…

Students started by creating our non-negotiable GCSE Lit skills before we applied this to the question on Macbeth 👑 A stepped process to develop a clear thesis we can extend throughout our response 👣Hitting the ground running 👊

Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” has been banned in a Canadian school library purity purge. Other books are George Orwell's 1984, Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. The world is going quietly mad. bbc.com/news/articles/…

My first lesson: How do I start off with new classes? It's taken me a while, but this is now my routine 👇👇 First, make sure 1. A new exercise book is on everyone's seat 2. All chairs are down 3. Work is on the board 4. I have a seating plan >

Hi kids .. #HandmaidsTale (the book not the series!) has just been banned in #Edmonton…don’t read it, your hair will catch on fire! Get one now before they have public book burnings of it.

@MissCole279 Would appreciate a copy if you don’t mind! Looks superb!! Vmkls1@outlook.com

Blown away by the positive comments I’ve had from sharing this. I’m working my way through requests to share! 🤓

Planning and Mapping kind of a weekend! Starting with a bit of reverse engineering to establish non negotiable knowledge and skills which should be taught in each unit. Advice on on to tailor the scheme further to strengthen skills! #teacherknowlegeorganiser #teamenglish #engchat

@tallsnail Whatever works for you👍

timeline, please reassure me that my almost-2yo sleeping at night from ~9pm to 6:30am is okay now that it's hot and we've been going on nighttime walks, we've had several neighbors make comments about our son still being awake that late. nothing judgy, just very curious

🧵 A level poetry teachers - unseen poems. Some ‘easier’ and some shorter to build confidence through micro practice. I teach Edexcel so these pair with themes in Poems of the Decade. @TeamEnglish1 Feel free to add. 1. Julia Webb, Crash Site - mothers, relationships, memory

Can't believe I've never tried a #poetry 'CRUNCH' before. 💥 One word from every line of the poem, with explanation / connotations behind the occasional one. (Prepped the start of Tissue for a model). Great for new material in small steps. 👍 #teamenglish #edchatuk

@bphillipsonMP This is tragic. All those students who need their teachers on that day to celebrate or commiserate with. So many who have no one to turn to except those teachers. You’re so blinkered. When will they get someone who has been a teacher in these roles.

Through our Plan for Change, we’re harnessing technology to bring exam results into the 21st century. Much easier for students, less paperwork for parents, less admin for teachers, and less costly for taxpayers. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@SportsDirectUK I placed an order and an address I used previously has been incorrectly used as that was saved. I’ve placed the order again as need the items quickly, is there any way to stop the delivery as no email address and the chat bot is closed!!

Loved tutoring for this booklet today❤️Even for the #iGCSE, there are pages that have been incredibly useful! An Inspector Calls Exam Revision Booklet (AQA) tes.com/resource-detai… #Edexcel #iGCSE #English #Literature #Coursework #Essay #Character #AIC #Context #TeamEnglish

I’ve not done anything like this in a while… I’m going to create a bit of a thread on the significance of Alderman Meggarty in ‘An Inspector Calls’. I would love for anyone to share what they teach on this character!
