@TeacherBusy @damonbwfc Exactly what I do. However we also mark one full assessment and grade it too

@damonbwfc Yes! I left that off, I do that too. And if it’s okay with the pupil I’ll show any great work under the visualiser and explain why it’s great.

How to “mark” 28 books in 27 minutes. 1. Read them all. 2. Make notes (www, ebi, common grammar & spelling errors) as you go. 3. Type notes up on ppt slide & focus DIRT tasks on areas that need improvement. Done.

@SianEli22973440 @MGMVEGAS2000 @SPryke2 @teachals @Team_English1 These are amazing. Please could you send me them?

@MGMVEGAS2000 @SPryke2 @teachals @Team_English1 Dm me your email and I can send you a copy?

I created this KS4 resource because I wanted to model how *most* quotations can be linked to different themes. I'm a bit late sharing now 🫠 Thank you, @SPryke2 @teachals for the bibles you created! I'm being brave sharing my 1st resource! @Team_English1

@SWENGteacher @Team_English1 @shadylady222 @engteacher2016 @BickertonMiss This is the one I have been looking for!!

@arealholmes @Team_English1 @shadylady222 @engteacher2016 @BickertonMiss Worth digging out the daily mail “murderers: if we’re wrong let them sue us” article? The one and only time that rag has exerted any kind of moral authority

I am looking for an original article on the Stephen Lawrence case. Would anyone know where to find one? We are teaching Noughts and Crosses and I thought that would be interesting @Team_English1 @shadylady222 @engteacher2016 @BickertonMiss

@JoBullen1 It really is

@arealholmes Nooooo this is the worst! I'm so sorry :(

Are we still not talking about the level of work required for Spoken Language (from students and staff) in order to provide a sample of 30 students on video, all for an accreditation which has no bearing on their final grade? Grand.

@Positivteacha Yes, as it should be the quotation 😉

Hi all.Has anyone got any articles that link to An Inspector Calls,but not explicitly?I want articles2 raise cultural capital,anything that points out injustices or idea of responsibility.Would love them to be current.@Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @MrsB_English_ @shadylady222

@LNS_MissJ @Tesforteachers Haha. Unfortunately I don't

@arealholmes @Tesforteachers If you have people nearby to iron shirts, you really had no choice careerwise

Type "I'm a teacher because" and let your phone keyboard finish the sentence.

@LNS_MissJ @Tesforteachers I am a teacher because of my favourite people and people in my house upstairs Iron shirts Haha. I love mine

@Tesforteachers I'm a teacher because I have a lot of the school's systems and I have to go to work 🙃

@shadylady222 YES

Highly annoying when AQA can’t actually provide you with the insert for the exam because of copyright issues…🙄

@FakeHeadteacher Haha

Last week I watched a colleague use a combination of cold call, hands up and scaffolded questions in a sequence It was fantastic to watch but was possible because of the strong culture 👌

Finished my first term at a new school as role as HOD of English. I have enjoyed it. Now need the half term to do all of my marking and prep for next term @Team_English1

Hi. I have just been looking for a copy of the new AQA anthology Worlds and Lives. Please could anyone send me a link if they have found it?

@K2SR7 Would you be willing to share? I would love to have a look

Huge Ofsted focus from their visit last week was on the reading culture across the school and how it is promoted by all 🎯 I've created a 'September Ready' guide for just that 📖

Has anyone got something like a murder mystery or an Escape room/treasure hunt type activity? I need to arrange something for next week that is fun! Students will have 2 hours (one group will only have 1 hour 30 minutes) @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @MrsB_English_

@ClareCampbell7 This is the most beautiful classroom

Before and after video of our Year 6 therapeutic classroom makeover

Hi. I am going to have a boy from the Ukraine join my Year 7 class. He does not speak any English. Has anyone got any resources so that I can put a booklet together for him to work through? Obviously it needs to be very simple stuff. @Team_English1 @MrsB_English_

@MrsB_English_ I'm not sure, but going to follow as interested
