Sixth form teachers. Happened upon this lovely list of ideas and courses Y12 students could explore, to inform their choices and enhance UCAS applications. Please retweet if useful 🙂docs.google.com/document/d/1V9…

Have just updated my Padlet with links to some of the various RfP resources I've put together over the past few years (articles, surveys, booklists, maps, etc). Will add more over the next couple of weeks. Hope it's useful. #ReadingForPleasure #edutwitter padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/woa…

Here’s an alternative anthology for the AQA P+C cluster. Includes 2 copies of each poem, prompts for analysis & QR codes for academic reading. Format and prompts by @__codexterous & review pages by @FunkyPedagogy. Both have kindly allowed me to share 😊 dropbox.com/sh/3ybqzxog7xp…

@Missy_Megan “Don’t say it” is a good one- challenge the word ‘it’ every time a student uses the word- “it goes up”- “what goes up and why” “It changes” “what’s ‘it’ and what does it change to?” Etc.

@Missy_Megan One thing we did was buy lecterns for the front of class. Reward points aplenty for getting students to read out good work or read from texts being studied (get another copy to go under the viz).

@Missy_Megan We provide exciting oracy workshops for students focusing on transition, communication and the future. We also provide teacher CPD workshops too! Email: info@talkthetalkuk.org or visit our website: talkthetalkuk.org

@Missy_Megan Games: 'if I ruled the world' and 'would you rather' as well as subject specific articulate. ALL @voice21oracy suggestions and recommendations included getting all oracy teachers (all teachers) a copy of Transforming Teaching and Learning through Talk The Oracy Imperative. A MUST

Ask Questions Like a Literacy Critic student pdf by @mrsmacteach33 💡 buff.ly/3qUpGBn

Finally it's being said out loud. I haven't used exam questions in lessons to practice with for a long time. Kids still see exam questions, I just don't make it part of *any* practice.
