@mrw3bb Very much so. Thanks for letting me know

@clewisE2 facebook.com/events/s/lives… thought this might interest you

Preparing carefully beforehand is the best way to be ready to improvise successfully during a lesson. When you know your lesson well, your working memory is free to perceive what students are doing & thinking. This allows you to better decide how to make adaptations & changes.

What a great idea!

@nickdennis @TrevorGetz4 Of course!

Another brilliant webinar on West African History. Loads of new material on Benin to look at and use in the classroom. Huge thanks to @nickdennis @TrevorGetz4 and Toby Green for their time and expertise. #historyteacher

@sehartsmith They are great, I have brought so many books to learn more about some of the topics. I am saving the last one available as don't want to run out. I am also loving @greg_jenner dead famous.

@clewisE2 I’ve been loving the you’re dead to me podcasts since lockdown- hadn’t had chance to listen to them until now

#historyteacher help! Pondering a topic on power/leadership/level of success/something in Medieval period but looking more globally & diversifying the usual English Medieval Kings & power topic. Some initial thoughts here but who else would you include?/ and other thoughts?

This looks great, looking forward to engaging with some high quality CPD next week

Excellent webinar on teaching pre 1600 African history. Loads of ideas to process and resources to explore. Looking forward to sharing them with my students. Huge thanks to @nickdennis, @TrevorGetz4 and Dr Toby Green

@missklunder @MsAylingHist Yeah of course. Dm your email

Does anyone teach a Tudor SOW at KS3 but it doesn't focus on purely religious change? I want to address extent of change in all areas e.g. life, entertainment, education, political reform etc. Keep trying to engage with it and my mind is drawing a BLANK.

@MsAylingHist @missklunder No worries. Dm me your email and I'll send it across

@missklunder @clewisE2 That would be great if you wouldn’t mind sharing. I think I need to come back to it with a fresh eye tomorrow.

Get the evening of 17.4.20 pinned in your calendars, we’re hosting a virtual quiz! Details will come out soon about how to take part. In the mean time, her reading up on your general knowledge and get thinking about quiz team names! RT ✌🏻

@MaryMyatt Thank you very much, really appreciate the positive feedback

The thinking behind the planning for this history unit is great. Impressive the way the text is used as the driver for the topic. Thanks @clewisE2 youtube.com/watch?v=aUcXCS…

That's tomorrow afternoon sorted

@Jmosley_history @historybookgrp @TMHistoryIcons @histassoc @lamb_heart_tea @mrwmhistory @mrwbw @Ms_C_Allen I always enjoy using John Blanke the trumpeter when teaching the Tudors, always leads to great discussions. Also Henry II being whipped, always a great hook when teaching Becket

Question number 2: What is your favourite image to use in a lesson (painting, propaganda, photo etc)? You can give more than one if you struggle to decide @historybookgrp @TMHistoryIcons @histassoc @lamb_heart_tea @mrwmhistory @mrwbw @Ms_C_Allen @clewisE2 #HistoryChatUK
