‘Questions about Oracy’

We tell pupils to study, but have we actually taught them how to study??

Of all the procedures & routines in an effective classroom the most important are for the things students do most frequently: answer the teacher’s questions.

One of the best lessons I observed last year was taught by a first year teacher. She was brilliant in her use of writing to prepare for and consolidate discussion. And she practiced giving clear precise directions. Here's the video & some further notes.

Here are 9 mini booklets for ACC, AIC and Macbeth. Each is based on a different theme & follows the same format, ending in an exam question which can be easily adapted depending on spec. Suitable for live/independent work. Use/chuck/change! @Team_English1 https://t.co/3A5meMWTWE

@GCSE_Macbeth To help students navigate the poem + any shifts / changes, they write about a key image at the beginning + middle + end. In each paragraph they ‘zoom in a BIT’ - https://t.co/4Z3bVb2WYM
