@MrBoothY6 Love this!

If you have teaching students, or ECTS & perhaps new mentors (or no brain space to think about setting targets), I made a bank of example targets linking to the teachers standards that might be useful. Obviously part 2 would only be used for concerns. docs.google.com/document/d/1rM…

‘The Trouble with English’ by Sam Gibbs & @z_helman was a big help when trying to condense down the subject concepts I think KS3 students needed to grasp, rather than just thinking they’ve learned about separate texts. Here are the first 3 of 5 subject knowledge posters I made:

@VersatileVocab1 @joharrop1 @Team_English1 This is absolutely brilliant, thank you Josie. Such a great way of unlocking the key concepts of the text and how to write about them. My year 11 class will find this so useful!

@joharrop1 @Team_English1 We define 3-4 key quotes / ‘moments’ for each poem + attach them to key images and we teach versatile vocab that they can use to unlock big key concepts. Here’s a booklet w/ knowledge organisers + examples of images + quotes + model essays: drive.google.com/file/d/1-feDku…

What’s everyone’s top tips for teaching the poetry anthology? We are revisiting how we approach it as a department. @Team_English1

Fellow AQA Lit B folks, I've compiled a summary of the highest leverage points from the examiner report (focused on 1A and 2B but largely generic) with some considerations on how to combat these. Couple of resources to follow in the next few weeks. dropbox.com/scl/fi/tvzpj5g…

@MissBHT21 @cathsbruv Thanks for sharing this, would really resonate with a lot of students I know!

@cathsbruv Please excuse the swearing but I think this is an amazing perspective!!! fb.watch/mDlIKHLurx/

Matilda worked harder than any kid I’ve ever taught but the results didn’t go her way unfortunately. Life is going to start punching her in the face now and it’s hard to see it happen and be powerless to help. Exams are tough.
