What does it matter if you lie to gain power, because once you have power, who can call you a liar?

HT @GCSE_Macbeth

[GCSE MACBETH @GCSE_Macbeth]

Been thinking about these lines from Act 1 Sc 7 today:

MACBETH: Will it not be received,
When we have mark'd with blood those sleepy two [...]
That they have done't?

LADY MACBETH: Who dares receive it other,
As we shall make our griefs and clamour roar
Upon his death?

Hi - does anyone have any good generic secondary EAL resources for students v new to English for whom the general home learning stuff might just be too much? Bit vague - but I think they need something different. Thx

[Ernest Bevin English @EBC_English]

Y10 - you could do worse than this.

[Mr Bruff @MrBruffEnglish]

My GCSE English home learning lessons start today at 12pm at https://t.co/VZElLFuLTY. There will be a video, a worksheet, and 1 hour of feedback on student work. I'll be doing this every weekday. Oh, and everything is FREE. Please encourage your children / students to take part.

Then - read some articles eg on the Guardian online Spotlight section or an issues based feature OR BBCNews long reads. Then listen to a couple of great speeches. This is a good place to start.

What points would you make about what each of the poets are trying to say and what examples would you use to exemplify your points.

[Ernest Bevin English @EBC_English]

@GCSE_Macbeth Little Baby Nothing by @manics or Yes (!) - but not useable in class. In fact that goes for most song lyrics I think of using.

Does anyone have v good w scale descriptors for KS3? Have kids working at lower levels— many put wrongly on level 1/2 (reluctance to put them lower). We have changed KS3 assessments, using AQA type descriptors, but need something for accurate marking lower end. Thx #teamenglish
