During our curriculum discussions someone suggested we add linked reading lists to our booklets. So I spent the drive to Cornwall making these! Will share on @LitdriveUK when done. If you’re happy to suggest appropriate books, I’ll add the last two terms below! @Team_English1

The next exciting thing about Microsoft Teams was me setting questions today and getting students to complete it LIVE AS I WATCHED and I could go in and edit and highlight as they did it and it’s LIVE MARKING BUT EASIER honestly can we just have Teams when we’re back?

Today I started doing the role in school that I have been craving for about four years. Today I met my trainee. It holds no money, I lose two lessons and will be a big job. But I am SO EXCITED to watch him learn and grow. I am so excited to be a mentor this year ❤️

Have tried making a faded worked example for y11 for planning a response to AIC. Have never used this strategy before so any advice on how this looks would be gratefully received! @Team_English1 @physicoyle thanks!

Quite a lot of interest in the word clouds I posted earlier. I wrote a blog about them a while back, posted below. I have two left to do and then I’ll share them :) @Team_English1 #teamenglish

Ten language analysis activities using word clouds.

I’d been thinking of doing a post like this for a while, as I personally find using word clouds an extremely useful and versatile activity in the English classroom. The post was pretty much p…

Next booklet is underway... These are basically becoming a SOW. Background reading designed to build skills for language P1Q1+2. Pre-reading will include videos, initial responses to the poems, then a copy of the poem with annotation prompts. Will be shared freely when done.

I want to just throw a load of unseen poetry at Y11 in intervention time (feeling happy now about the core texts) so @Team_English1 share your favourite unseen poems with me? I can collate all with Qs and share. Ideally modern poems at the same level they get in the exam. My 2:

If you’re not sure what to do for revision sessions over Easter, there are a bunch of resources in this folder. For me at this point it’s practice, repeat… x infinity. @Team_English1

I’m not sure there is anything MORE ANNOYING as an English teacher, than when a student refers to a writer by their first name. No, SIMON does not want us to think that. CAROL isn’t your friend. By JESUS there are too many WILLIAMS to just throw it out there. Lord help me.(/rant)

Here we are - a video going through the two REVELATIONS I’ve had this week. Probably things a lot of people already know. And I’m not an expert. But people said it would be useful, so here it is: #teamenglish @MissMFrost @TLPMrsL @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK

I am one week into Teams but here are some things I have tried!

I said I'd share some thoughts on working in a disruption-free school, and here is a little blog. If you want to discuss, I'm really happy to.

10 things I’ve gained from being in a disruption-free school

I want to start with a couple of caveats, because the idea of blogging about behaviour and school culture does indeed worry me. Firstly, I’m not a behaviour expert of any kind. I am a Head of…

Much like @amymayforrester and @mssfax I thought I would do a resource thread. These are all free and on Tes - I don’t really share lessons though - more booklets, mini mocks, and displays. Here we go! Happy summer everyone. #teamenglish

Lit exams > Marking AO1 I want to do a quick thread for @Team_English1 on some thoughts regarding moving students up the mark scheme for AO1. I've shared a lot about using motifs as high leverage to move up AO2/AO3, but it's time to give AO1 some attention. So, a cheeky 🧵 1/-

National averages for English Language and English Literature. I wasn't happy with mine, until I realised that nationally 4+/5+/7+ is down significantly from 2022, so I think this is worth knowing And remember-there is always a lit/lang gap. Don't waste time trying to close it...
