A bit of Sunday reading - would be great in terms of context for Macbeth. That’s classes 10P1, 10P2 and 10Q1 😊 https://t.co/ziAiRCA1ZI

Another article here about the unemployment in 1935, would be great for you to use for An Inspector Calls context! https://t.co/VhD9MOFOOT

[CGEnglish @CGEnglish_]

Useful for A Christmas Carol context! An article about ragged children and what they had to do to support their families. https://t.co/9HTbqQBUmC

It’s really important to read about characters from BAME backgrounds who have been created by authors that are BAME themselves as this provides an authentic and accurate voice.
