I love mini whiteboards and probably use them too much, truth be told. This is why I appreciated the part of this discussion that took on when not to use them. Click the link below to listen.

@greeborunner I have a whole different take on reading since @Doug_Lemov sent me The Science of Reading to summarise...

And I teach physics.

Now I realise what I should have been doing (as should parents).

I observed a lesson in a school last week where they were revising Macbeth and it reminded me of this lecture I once gave to students aiming for a grade 7-9 in English Lit @FgcsInfo on Macbeth and Kingship
(Ideas ‘magpied’ from everywhere).

I am still surprised to find teachers who haven’t heard of this series. It is an absolute MUST watch full of great practice with really practical strategies for implementation.

The #2 rule of teaching: all children benefit from being taught in ways that disproportionately benefit those with special needs

When I trained to teach, the focus was on teaching the different purposes of writing. Writing to persuade, to explain, to describe.

By contrast, The Writing Revolution teach writing as a means of advancing thinking.

I think it's the latter approach that is more important in a world with AI.

Working on a new "Do Now" task which brings in elements of the Question Matrix. One for BGE and one for Exam classes. Will see how it goes

These are my top tops for making texts accessible.

*1.5- double lined spaced
*line numbers
*Gloss the vocab immediately above the target word
*Add image if easier than words (e.g pikes!)

No 3 also means you can easily read both target & explainer word when reading to class.
