A huge well done to 2E1, who did an AMAZING job of their persuasive speeches this morning! So impressed with their knowledge of persuasive techniques, their passion and most importantly their support for one another. #strivetobe

I’m using parts of it in our electives. It’s really helpful and accessible for our ‘Living Comics’ elective. Thanks!

A while back we wrote a resource for @scottishbktrust for adapting a scene into a comic. Great to see it put in action with @LibraryatEA

[Beeslack English Dpt @BeeslackEnglish]

There’s a real energy and enthusiasm in the groups as they produce poetry, newspapers, creative writing, comic creations and a unique spin on our very own ghostly resident of the Art department - The White Lady! @metaphrog

[Beeslack English Dpt @BeeslackEnglish]

Our S1 electives are now well underway for 2019! After our inspiring visit from @metaphrog our theme this year is “Twisted Tales”. Check out the options available to our young people this year:

I am absolutely thrilled that Armistice Runner has been nominated for the 2020 Carnegie Medal. To be among such awesome books and authors for the first time is one of the highlights of my career, in fact, my life. So thank you @CILIPCKG.

[Beeslack English Dpt @BeeslackEnglish]

This will come in very handy! Thanks.
