🌟Students need a sentence structure to show their understanding that big ideas are connected to little moments.🌟🧵

I talk a lot about micro and macro. Everything we read and write moves between big & small; small & big. Being able to access the big idea is important.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that the pupils excel in. Amazing work from 2C2 with their persuasive Christmas menus - I’m getting hungry just reading them! 🦃🧀🍹🍰 @QAHS_English

I am OBSESSED with our ‘How to Steal Christmas’ instructions based on The Grinch 🎄

The children loved it and I’m so proud of how much effort they put into their presentation ✨

Thank you @chloef23 for the inspiration 🖤

TEACHER AI HACK NUMERO 4:

Need to read something in order to plan? Use speechify to convert the text to voiceover so you can listen and work instead. Voices aren't robotic, can adjust speed. Can even have snoop dogg reading to you

Back to modelling/exploring strategies to effectively and actively read RUAE passages 📚

[Andy @__codexterous]

📚 POST!

Stop asking students what the author meant and instead ask them to think about

what does the text DO?

Fabulous vintage adverts from Higher. We are exploring gender roles in the Victorian era before starting ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’. 🛏️

I'm not sure which teacher I borrowed this idea from, but I'm eternally grateful for it. Nothing boosts confidence in a poet's ideas and language like a 'Reduce-to-One' revision page.

One down, five to go... #SST
