Hi, has anyone got any good texts for P1 Q3 structure. Introducing it to Yr 9. Thanks! @Team_English1 @EnglishWales

[Stuart Pryke @SPryke2]

NEW RESOURCE: A final set of revision slides for Language Paper 1. Hopefully useful for the exam this week! Uses an adjusted paper by the brilliant @DoWise. Help yourselves - use/chuck/change as you see fit! https://t.co/5YPwVlcd0Q

@shadylady222 This looks great!! ❤️

You probably already know I'm a big fan of teaching motifs as a way for students to think about texts holistically. There are lots of these in Macbeth and A Christmas Carol BUT not much has been said about 'An Inspector Calls' - 💵📸🥂
So a quick thread 🧵 for @Team_English1

Read more books. Read to escape reality. Read to understand reality. Read to challenge what you believe. Read to think better. Read to write better. Read to argue better. Read to know yourself. Read to build something. A single book can completely rewire your brain.

Such an icon. RIP Moira ❤️

Here’s a small worksheet made to help students with AQA P2, Q5. All of these ideas are by the brilliant @Xris32. All I’ve done is put them in a grid. You can find the original blog with further exam hacks here: https://t.co/fvPv2yigAU @Team_English1 https://t.co/NUYdaMVQMM

"I live on a street with a lot of elderly neighbors. Mrs. Higgins lives next door. She’s 90. Every night at 5 PM, she turns on her porch light. If the light isn't on by 5:15, I go over. It’s our silent code. Last week, 5:30 came. No light. I ran over. I knocked. No answer. I used the spare key she gave me. She was in the kitchen, confused. The power had gone out in her section of the house, and she couldn't reach the fuse box. She was sitting in the dark, afraid. 'I knew you’d come,' she said when she saw my flashlight. I fixed the fuse. We had tea. 'You’re a good neighbor,' she said. 'No,' I said. 'I’m just watching the light.' We are all just walking each other home in the dark. Look for the lights. And if one goes out, go knock. It takes five minutes to save a life."

@HarperGScience @HarperGreen Love this!

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).
