Carol Rumens’ article in here on ‘The Emigree’ is an absolute game changer. I didn’t interpret the poem this way at all. Talk about a 💡 moment! @Team_English1

This has ALL the linguistic goods for a lesson text: neologisms, slang, attitudes to language as a proxy for social prejudice, race, politics and power https://t.co/vyRNgSi1eX via @HollywoodLife

In our most significant update ever, we replaced homosexuality with gay sexual orientation, along with references to homosexuality with gay, gay man, or gay woman. Read more from @PinkNews and @lilylwakefield. 🏳️‍🌈

@rosyeliz1 The opening of PD James ‘devices and desires’ is great for tension (not suitable for ks3 perhaps!)

After a 12-hour shift on the Clearing lines yesterday, I'm even more convinced that one of the biggest failings in this A-level results debacle is the lack of understanding of university admissions processes.

I've used rows, islands, horseshoes, no desks, chairs with lean on attached desks, lecture halls, comfy reading areas, outside under a tree and after 27 years of teaching I found that the layout always depended on what I wanted the students to learn.

my latest post on Language: a feminist guide is about ageism and sexism, and it features the image on the left. The one on the right was sent to me by Brittney O'Neill after she spotted it on Facebook. Don't think I need to say any more, do I?

@_krogg @Team_English1 Wintering by Duffy is interesting - maybe ‘those bastards in their mansions’ by Armitage?

[Suzie @SuzieJabarian]

@MrRDenham This article by Atwood is excellent. She explicitly explains the profound influence that Orwell had on her, especially her writing of 'The Handmaid's Tale'. Well worth a read. https://t.co/QIXRMcxpvT
