One of my favourite things this year has been the displays that I use and refer to almost every day!

I thought I’d share just in case anyone fancied using the arrival of the exam season to revive displays that may have seen better days… #TeamEnglish

@hkateaching I left last year and, from reading your bio, had a fairly similar series of roles to you. Happy to answer any questions or offer any support I can!

🚨 NEW: We’re scrapping single headline Ofsted judgements with immediate effect.

Ofsted judgements have been high stakes for schools, low information for parents.

We’ll:

✅ Give parents more transparency
✅ Drive high & rising standards
✅ Pave the way for school report cards

I approach GCSE P1 Q3 by getting students to look at the openings of two different versions of Little Red Riding Hood. One is the traditional, once-upon-a-time version. The other is narrated by Red Riding Hood, and starts by describing what it's like inside the wolf's stomach. 🧵

A satellite context booklet and overview SOW will be added eventually, but for now @Team_English1 the play itself might be useful 🩸 ⚔️
Either as teacher guide or -

After some really useful AQA CPD, I decided a different method of quote explosion based on the feedback from the last assessment. The quality of the comments today was much stronger as a result 🙌

1. Seems to me the biggest problem we have with workload reduction for teachers is that we just can't conceive of a way they can do less so all our solutions are aimed at getting them doing their existing workloads faster and more efficiently. This seems to make sense but..

@andie_teaches @AnansiRyans Just in case it’s useful!

I do, we do, you do. Language paper 1, Question 3🙌🏼

The colours really help students visualise where they are/aren’t meeting the success criteria.

@__codexterous Your blogs were so so useful to me when I was writing my MA dissertation last year so it’s nothing but the truth!

Congrats on the book!

Unbelievably excited to read this! If you haven’t read Andy’s blogs, you are massively missing out.

I’m sure this book will be packed full of amazing ideas.

A year and a half in the making. Countless hours. And many, many early mornings.

And now, finally, here it is.

My very first book, all about teaching English Literature.

I am beyond excited to share it with you. Out November 16th!!!

Some really brilliant points here about unseen poetry!

[Ms W-C @mrsengteacher8]

Last but not least... Unseen poetry, Sections A and B.

@Xris32 This sounds amazing. Would I be able to DM you my email address to get involved as well, please? Thanks!

Wanted to make homework more challenging and purposeful, so I created critical thinking booklets, which have some fab reading materials for students to critique.

Thanks: @mrsmacteach33 @SPryke2 @SaysMiss @britishlibrary @TheRSC amongst others!

Welcome to my display hack/tricks thread.
I get loads of questions about my displays so here's to not gatekeeping.

Firstly, here are some of my previous displays.
