@AnnaGrantENG That is really tough. I can't see how you'd be able to read all those texts on top of your usual workload. I don't know what the answer is.
@AnnaGrantENG Euphemism, tone, hyperbole, stage directions, staging (lighting, music, props), plot, aside. Some are perhaps a bit basic (and I may have missed some on your displays!).
@AlloaAcademy I had the pleasure of teaching some of these fabulous young people in my NQT year al Alloa - congratulations and all the very best for the future!

Wow! What an incredible time focusing on creative writing with the wonderful and talented @imogen_stirling. So proud of our S1-2 pupils for giving Imogen a warm McLaren welcome, listening attentively to her words and following her lead. Thanks to Jan Hay @StirlingLibs and Imogen!
It has been a joy and a privilege to be a teacher judge for the 11-14 category. I've gained so much from reading and discussing the long listed books. The short list is sublime - so much to recommend every one of these books! #YAFiction#readingforpleasure#bestjobintheworld
