NEW RESOURCE: Here’s a Macbeth scheme, based on the work I completed with @teachals for ‘Ready to Teach: Macbeth’, alongside new thinking and ideas I’ve encountered since. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1 dropbox.com/scl/fo/uisotc3…

Developing ideas around the Writer's Intent using 'The Purpose Triad' - Grade 8/9 writing. #gcseliterature #writersintent #engchat #teamenglish #bigideas

The character sentence stems💡 Students used them to plan analytical paragraphs for AIC focusing on Priestley’s purpose and character contrasts. Excellent use of critical vocabulary and thematic connections throughout! 👏🏽 #teamenglish #engchat #AIC

@AbenaAppiah @Carlie_Squire @DHE_teach Sure. If you send me your email I’ll send it over ☺️

@MsConnellTeach @Carlie_Squire @DHE_teach Could you please share the template :-)

Our students journey through English at Hartland 📚 After lots of work on our curriculum at the end of the last academic year, I’m feeling proud and excited of our work as a team and can’t wait to get started with the students next week! 🌟 Thanks to @DHE_teach for the template😊

An inspirational and heart-warming day being surround by incredible, likeminded women at #WELNUAE yesterday! All of the speakers and sessions were wonderful, the student ambassadors were a credit to themselves and our school and the atmosphere was infectious 👏🏼🚺✨

What are your plans for #nationalpoetryday on 2nd Oct? Did you know we have this brilliant free online event with Manjeet Mann for KS3 to explore her novel in verse ROAR! To turn up the volume on poetry, book via : shorturl.at/FCsBg

What Does “Six Seven” Mean? I’m tired of hearing it—might as well have students write about it.

Catching up on #educatingyorkshire and having a sob at Tremaine’s beaming face when he’s praised for his writing 😭 literacy interventions are so so so important. Bless his heart 🩵

Year 8 have been working on their purple pen reflections for their baseline assessments over the last couple of lessons. I’m so proud of the students for their excellent and thoughtful improvements - very positive start to the year for them in English 👏🏼🟣📝

@K2SR7 This looks like a brilliant lesson! Would you mind sharing?

My first lesson when teaching structure is ALWAYS this lesson. The language developed during this lesson is the most important foundation to have when tackling LP1 Q3 - making a potentially tricky question, far simpler! #FridayFlashback

@blodwyn22 @Team_English1 We do Edexcel IGCSE for both Lit and Lang. Happy to discuss ☺️

@Team_English1 we are thinking of moving over to Eng Lit IGCSE. Is there anybody on here does it already?

Inspired by the wonderful OU/UKLA RfP group based in Dubai, I want to create a space where reading for pleasure is celebrated and students are encouraged to enjoy reading. 📚✨ This little corner in my classroom is a starting point with a range of genres and text types 👩🏻‍🏫📖

On Thursday I found out that I have been awarded my MEd with Distinction 🥹 This is a particularly proud achievement as this qualification coincided with my first year as Head of English whilst also planning our wedding making it a very busy (and at times, stressful) year! 📚✨

@Carlie_Squire @DHE_teach Of course! Just send me your email and I’ll send it over ☺️

@MsConnellTeach @DHE_teach Hi, this looks great! I liked this a while ago and now coming round to putting our journey on to something like this. Would you be able to kindly share the template for yours at all?

Won a great competition with @Bookworm_Dubai - 1000 dirhams to set up my classroom library for the year! Although these aren’t as common in secondary, I really want to encourage my students to read more & pick up books instead of screens so this was perfect! Thank you so much👏🏼📚

My school will be delivering the AQA A Level English Literature A for the first time this year having swapped from Edexcel. Does anybody have an introductory lesson introducing and explaining the course before I make one? 🙏🏼 #AQAEnglishLit #ALevel @EngMediaCentre @Team_English1

@IsabelAllison2 @DHE_teach They’re brilliant! Would you mind sending me a copy also please? ☺️

@DHE_teach I love the book wraps. Would you mind sharing the template?

Getting September ready. MTPs complete. Overviews complete. Book wraps redesigned.

@Miss_L_Teach Thank you so much 🥰 good riddance to the dissertation! Hope you’re having a lovely summer x

@MsConnellTeach Congratulations, lovely! Enjoy your wedding day and no more dissertation talk!

It’s been a very busy few years - wedding planning and completing my MA Ed. Very proud to say that this morning I have submitted my dissertation bringing my MA Ed to a close 🥳 Results pending in September but a great experience! Now to get married - 13 days and counting… 🇬🇷🤍
