❗️Text swap❗️We have a whole year group set of Noughts and Crosses (we taught this with Y9) in fab condition. We are wanting to swap for an American literature novel (not Of Mice and Men) that is contemporary. Happy to also share resources! @Team_English1 please could you share?

@The_DBAwards YA and Adult would be amazing for our school library at Our Lady's!

@Nflynn_gbm Sending prayers and strength to you all. Your tweet came up on my timeline and my heart breaks for you all❤️ please let us at school know if there’s anything we can do x

Such a fantastic listen. Listened to this yesterday whilst walking the dog and haven’t stopped thinking about it and what I can do to make the texts I teach more inclusive. @7Stories

When I was growing up I LOVED reading, but I rarely saw myself reflected in the books I read. Which is why I’m SO excited to share the first episode of ‘Whose Stories?’ a podcast made in collaboration with @7Stories and @UniofNewcastle ! https://t.co/FRzZPvcJPF 📚✨

@CaldiEnglish @Team_English1 Thank you!

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

Has anybody got any suggestions for a form time reading book for Y7? Preferably a modern, challenging text which will grip them straight away as they will only be reading this for 20mins 3 days a week. @Team_English1

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@MJFORD15 @Team_English1 We do this in English in HT1- great book!

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@Kerry_Priest @katiewilson77 @Team_English1 Thank you for sharing- looks great!

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@LibraryLyns @Team_English1 @anthony_mcgowan Sounds brilliant. Thank you!

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@MrAlexRiley @Team_English1 We are given free reign to choose a Shakespeare play that we want to teach Y9- as long as it’s not a tragedy to ensure they are exposed to more than just that genre. I teach The Merchant of Venice 🎭

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@dailydenouement Winter Break- Hilary Mantel. Always shocks them at the end👍🏼

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@MeganEReeve1 We have just started doing this too. So much more liberating!

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@MrsBarker_Teach The Man with the Yellow Face- Anthony Horowitz. I have done it with Y7-9 and they all love it

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

@HoDandHeart I would love to know the answer to this too!!

[Dominic @dominic_mcg]

I don’t know what these are called but I’d quite happily destroy them all...

[Hannah Hoolihan @MrsHoolihan]

Has anybody got any transition ideas to interact with primaries and Y6 pupils who cannot come into secondary school as part of ‘moving up’ day? We’ve done a video tour of the school and a Q&A, just looking at what other schools do👍🏼 #edutwitter #TransitionEd #transition #edtech

Due to the importance of this topic, we've brought this magazine feature in front of our paywall – the risk of teacher burnout has increased amid all the extra pressures of the pandemic

@Ms_McK_says Split Lang paper 1 into two booklets (Q1-3 & Q5). Split Lit poetry into two (anthology & unseen).Staff mark one booklet of Lang and one of lit. Students only wrote candidate no. on the paper and their class teacher’s name. Papers distributed amongst staff but not to their teacher

Miss Bramley’s Y9 class took part in #Take10ToRead with @AnthonyHorowitz this morning 📚 @Literacy_Trust

@fmccarron1 Yourself and Mrs Welch played a huge part in my journey to becoming an English teacher and Head of Year 11 at a school in Manchester. More than you will ever know- thank you🤝
