@miss_gilhooley @Team_English1 I have lots of vocab around the room, and also my favourite books! The students use the vocabulary ones all the time, and every now and again I get asked about my fave books and it’s nice to have a visual to refer to 📚

Emails I love as an English teacher: "I wrote a poem. I wanted to share it with you."

@PedagogueSci @jenny_wen The ONLY good thing about Zoom meetings 🙌🏼

@bella_teaches Congratulations!!

[JMargaret @JMargaret6]

@gabriellejames_ @bella_teaches @Team_English1 @AVisserFuray @FunkyPedagogy @MissEduKatie @MrsLeggEnglish I was asked about action planning, particularly as I applied as an RQT with no experience with it - wanted to know if I was capable. How to get ‘staff buy in,’ holding teachers to account for implementing strategies - what would I do if challenged by skeptical colleagues?

[JMargaret @JMargaret6]

Literacy is being given a dedicated page on our school website - does anyone have a website that has the same, and if so, what have you included on it? @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK @FunkyPedagogy #TeamEnglish

@emaiengteacher @sherish_o @Ms_Brazier This looks amazing!!

[JMargaret @JMargaret6]

@MissS_NQT @emaiengteacher @sophmarsbar @Team_English1 You're welcome - sometimes useful to pre-highlight key quotes and then colour code the questions too!

[JMargaret @JMargaret6]

@emaiengteacher @sophmarsbar @MissS_NQT @Team_English1 Here's a basic version that I'm going to use on Monday to introduce a poetry unit to my Y9s. Pupils try the questions independently, and then we go through them together on the Zoom. Means students can keep up with the work if they can't make it on the Zoom too!

[JMargaret @JMargaret6]

@emaiengteacher @sophmarsbar @MissS_NQT @Team_English1 Def going to pinching some ideas from the answers here - where we use docs for student work, typing along with them to model how they should be working is so important. Using a table to have the poem/extract on one side, with questions for focused annotation has been effective.
