Using books from the library to allow students to explore how to create an effective story opening - one that creates intrigue and leaves questions unanswered. Had the intended effect of making students want to read the rest of the books! @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK #teamenglish

@ScottPughsley Haha I just watched it and saw your tweet was on there!! You’re famous 🤩

Many thanks to @KateJones_teach for hosting an informative webinar last night on Formative Assessment in the Classroom - it had loads of great tips! @SenecaLearn #senecacpd

Just attended a fabulous webinar on Making Mentoring Matter with @HughesHaili - offered excellent insight on mentoring ECTs and pointers to further reading! Thanks for taking the time to do this #teacherCPD #edutwitter

@HughesHaili @Team_English1 Of course, if you DM me your email address I’ll send it over!

My Year 7s have responded enthusiastically to using the short Pixar film 'Piper' as a writing stimulus. Their examples of descriptive writing could be mistaken for the work of GCSE students! #teamenglish @Team_English1 #edutwitter

Love my Monday walk listening to the latest Short History of… podcast. I knew I should have been a history teacher! #edutwitter #yorkshire

@KateJones_teach @jojodoris Such a fab evening ❤️

@SwingReviews @ActionOnHearing @HearingLink Of course!

Last year I was diagnosed with sudden deafness. In my blog, 'Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow,' I document my experience with hearing loss and the impact my recovery had on my physical and mental health.

@rosBIGWRITING I’m from Leeds and I’ve not heard ‘blether’ but might be more likely to say ‘wittering’ 🙂

[Emma Sanderson @Emmanaomi]

@KateJones_teach So nice to meet you ❤️

[Emma Sanderson @Emmanaomi]

@SpiralEducation is a great way to encourage contributions from all. By writing their responses, students are given thinking time and the 'random' button can be selected to emulate a no hands up approach! (facts from https://t.co/pFQVL1Mlus) #poetry #teamenglish @Team_English1

[Emma Sanderson @Emmanaomi]

This was such an enjoyable approach to teaching poetry - the students produced some of their best work and we had fun in the process! @Team_English1 #teamenglish #edutwitter @HartlandIntl

[Tes International @IntlTes]

To get students more engaged with poetry, I created an imaginary 'classroom cafe' - and 'invited' famous poets in to discuss the inspiration behind their work, writes @Emmanaomi

@MissRadlett @TeachFirst Your memory is so much better than mine! X

[Emma Sanderson @Emmanaomi]

Throwback to my first year of @TeachFirst with @MissRadlett - a time when neither the photos or my lessons were of a high quality...

[Emma Sanderson @Emmanaomi]

@PearsonTeachEng Hi @PearsonTeachEng! Is it possible to get clarification on whether coursework counts as one piece of evidence or two (i.e. each essay is one piece of evidence) for English Language IGCSE?

[Emma Sanderson @Emmanaomi]

Sharing a revision ppt for @PearsonEdexcel Unseen Poetry. Includes an example poem, mark scheme and model examples for students to mark (including the responses given by the exam board to compare with). @PearsonTeachEng @Team_English1 #teamenglish
