Planning a KS4 SoW for AQA Lang Paper 1 Question 5 - if anyone would be willing to share any tips/ resources I'd be incredibly grateful! Leaning towards drop - zoom - shift - link structure for narrative but open to suggestions 😊 #TeamEnglish

@LitdriveUK how can I renew my membership? Every time I try to log in it gives me the message below but it will not let me register again with the same email without logging in!

@HecticTeacher Hi! Sorry, I know this post is from AGES ago but I wondered if there's any way to access these activities still? 🙏

#FormTime #FormTutor A day of quiz making means I now have 60 tutor quizzes on MSForms. You can get them from my website but it is password protected to prevent tutors & students at my school from cheating. Just DM me and I will give it to you. thehecticteacher.co.uk/2019/07/26/tut…

@English_MrsD Hi! Sorry I posted my email but it never came through, would love to have a copy of this if you’re still sharing please 🙏🏼 email: paytonclm@gmail.com

Our Yr 8s have a discrete 'Literacy' period per week & I am currently revamping the scheme. It's slow going but I'm finally getting somewhere with it. It's one of those jobs I'd given myself all year to complete, yet here we are in June & only getting to it now 🙈

@andie_teaches This is amazing! Especially when looking at the nationwide stats for Eng Lang. Congrats 🍾🫶🏻

So happy with my English Language A-Level results - 100% A*-C, 100% on or above target, +0.32 value added 🥹🥹 so much hard work involved 😍

@hannahlizteach Lisbon/ Porto/ Florence/ Seville/ Barcelona!

@englishspecial I couldn’t agree more! The English Language GCSE does not align with the A-Level content at all anymore. I really hope exam boards look into rectifying this. Linguistics is much more interesting than the current GCSE Language in my opinion 😂👀

@edupayton And the GCSE really does not prepare students (nor teachers) for A level language.

Why only 2.3% getting A star in English Language?

@English_MrsD Hey! I'd love to receive one if you're still sharing please 🙏🙏 It wont let me DM you my email address for some reason but it is paytonclm@gmail.com ☺️ Xx

I have now sent a copy of this across to anyone who requested it. Please let me know if you didn't receive one - there were quite a few requests!

Working in Dubai is great… until it reaches the end of June 🥵🥵🥵

@Miff__ @Team_English1 I haven't heard of Hackney Lit before but I will definitely look into it! Thanks so much for your recommendation 🥰

@edupayton @Team_English1 Have you looked at Hackney LIT? Or more broadly reciprocal reader. I find it works really well when done consistently especially in Small groups with good texts. Barrington stoke work really well

Hi guys! Does anyone currently have a reading lesson scheme/programme in their school with attached lessons focusing on core reading skills? I'd love to pick your brains about structuring the sessions if so! @Team_English1

@English_MrsD @K_Ne11a @emma_dunderdale Can I please jump on this as well? The resource looks fab and we're revamping our reading/ literacy sessions at the moment!🤗

@K_Ne11a @emma_dunderdale Sure! Just DM an email address 🙂

@engteacherabro2 Thanks so much! I have sent you a DM 😊

@edupayton Yes sure

one minute ur a teenager and the next ur a 25 year old senior citizen.

@hannahlizteach Ummm where is this suit from please it’s beautiful 🤩🤩

@hkateaching @GCSE_Macbeth Couldn't agree more! I'm so glad it's changed to become a proper study of language. Compared with when I was doing A-Level Lang, it's worlds apart. Although, some of the new content is stuff I studied during my linguistics degree! 😅

@GCSE_Macbeth Just to add to this. A-Level English language is also solid. The level of subject knowledge and brain power you need just for the day to day planning is ridiculous. The jump from GCSE to A level Lang is mental. Esp considering the GCSE specs are mainly lit based skills!

A-Levels are super hard. I mean you, yes YOU English teacher reading this, are you really telling me you'd fancy having to get Streetcar, Hamlet, Wife of Bath, "Poems of the Decade", Mrs Dalloway AND Wuthering Heights all exam-standard in your brain at the same time? UH NO.

@andie_teaches Your slides are always SO beautiful! 🤩

We're teaching The Bone Sparrow to Y7 from September so I've planned our unit and thought I'd share, just in case it helps anyone in the same situation. It is such a gorgeous read - I'm so excited to start teaching it! Use if helpful! dropbox.com/scl/fo/v4108qx…

The only way to change this long-standing picture is to stop talking about ability and instead believe and behave as if every child can achieve and build towards that. Ability is old hat!

Can’t wait to get my hands on this!
