I am running out of P2 mini mocks.
Only one answer for it...
A few more coming for the final four days, will share on here if helpful.
AQA seem to love travel and weather, so I'm sticking with these themes 🤣

🌟Creative writing: sentence models🌟

Resources in the 🧵

I've been doing lots of sentence work. Last term, I tried to write with students every lesson, just trying to build writing muscles and expose them to lots of models
Inspired by @ChrisYoules His book is fab!

[GCSE MACBETH @GCSE_Macbeth]

Two lines in Macbeth that link together:

DUNCAN (Act 1 Sc 4): "There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face."

LADY MACBETH (Act 1 Sc 5): "Your face, my thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters."

Absolutely KEY little exchange in Act 4 Scene 3 of Macbeth:

MALCOLM: Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF: I shall do so,
But I must also feel it as a man.

Malcolm and Macduff here present two contrasting ideas of MASCULINITY in the play.

@MichaelRosenYes For me, 'Hugh' is a little more voiced /h/. Slightly fricative. The 'Hall' /h/ is totally unvoiced with a more open mouth and lower tongue position.

I wonder how much region affects this?

‘Why Don’t Students Like School?’ by Daniel Willingham is one of the most influential books for teachers on cognitive science. It explores how students’ minds work & how to use this knowledge to be a better teacher.
