Brakenhale English Department - sharing resources and a love of all things literary

[English @Brak_English]

Teaching English often means introducing potentially sensitive topics, but we as a team we are so proud of the maturity and sensitivity our yr 9s have shown in our current unit on women in lit #teambrakenhale #teachertwitter #edutwitter

With a new term commencing we wanted to take the opportunity to showcase some fantastic pieces of work our students produced last term! So proud to see a love of writing, can’t wait to see the fan things they do this term! #teambrakenhale #teachertwitter #teacherlife

Made some small ‘Bitesize Academic Reading’ resources for ‘Macbeth’ to trial. The format is inspired by another resource on here but I can’t find the original author so shout if it’s you so I can credit! Use/change/ignore as you see fit. @Team_English1 https://t.co/TVfzoUxOCt

As a department we’re always looking for a range of revision materials, podtail has a great selection! If anyone has any recommendation for revision podcasts leave a comment! #teambrakenhale #teachertwitter #teachingenglish #gcseenglish https://t.co/c1uEHg5Tcd

The best thing about teaching is learning new things! We’ve been looking at mythology with y7 and a fabulous pupil put together this factfile about the Wawel Dragon! #teacherlife #teachingenglish #teambrakenhale #mythology #polishmythology

Very lucky that so many in our department got the chance to see #sirianmckellen as Hamlet in Windsor last month! It was great sounding board to discuss interpretations, time to see what our pupils think! #Shakespeare #Hamlet #teachertwitter #teachingenglish #teambrakenhale

With our year 8s we’ve been looking at gothic literature and trying to employ gothic conventions in our own writing. This pupil played with gothic conventions and challenged herself to use uncommon vocab! #happyteacher #teambrakenhale #teachenglish #ks3english

With the term coming to an end, it’s a perfect opportunity to share some of the fab work our young adults produce! Watch this space, examples of brilliant student work is on it’s way! #teachertwitter #teachenglish #successfulyoungwriters #teambrakenhale
