Thank you so much @PaapaEssiedu for joining our Year 13 English class 'virtually' this morning! From hearing about Paapa's time playing Hamlet at the RSC to his fascinating insights into the acting industry- I've never seen my class so inspired! @chiswickschool #ambitiousandproud

Settle in for lockdown 2 and watch Andrew Lincoln star as Scrooge in 'A Christmas Carol'. Whether you happen to have an exam in it or not it will be worth the watch in the run up to 2020 Christmas! https://t.co/sJohi1UWvL

'Shakespeare’s text is best approached in the classroom by doing it rather than reading it...for the exam techniques' https://t.co/R08u3We5Au @ChiswickSchool #ambitiousandproud

'Girl, Woman, Other' by Bernardine Evaristo, 'Half Of A Yellow Sun'/ 'Americanah' by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie or 'The Poisonwood Bible' by Barbara Kingsolver for covering so many themes from love, war and colonialism to race and relationships.@ChiswickSchool #ambitiousandproud

Morning all! Thank you for joining in this week. For our final book/text focus #teamenglish we're asking:

Diverse books/poems/authors share ideas, stories, and information about cultures, race, religion, language, and traditions.

Which would you recommend and why?

@lynseypads1 @miss_mcs1 @Team_English1 We just read 'Girl Woman Other' for (virtual) Staff Book Club and it was everyone's favourite so far!

[Team English @Team_English1]

Morning all! So, today we’re asking:

- Which literary character would you most like to spend the day with? Why?

Join in and have a gorgeous day you gorgeous people! 😘 #TeamEnglish
