7. The most important finding:

Close relationships are the strongest predictor of happiness ― even more so than social class, IQ, fame, money, or even genes.

The folks most satisfied with their relationships at 50, were also the healthiest at age 80.

A pre-reading word cloud for Macbeth’s dagger soliloquy. Will be using this to clarify words/explore connotations & consider what the repetition/frequency of words & linked-words suggest about: a) the nature of the vision, b) Macbeth’s state of mind. @Team_English1

I asked a group of 6 year olds "Invent a new Olympic sport"

Apparently I am mainly reading books about women who have been persecuted for their desires this year.

@Xris32 Shuggie has a place in my heart forever! 🥲

Excellent overview/ideas here from @FunkyPedagogy It’s also encouraged me to reflect on some recent (and rather brilliant) MFL teaching I have observed and the effectiveness of teaching grammar when learning another language. Surely we should be doing this more in all subjects?

[Katie Hawley @Mrs_H_Eng]

@FunkyPedagogy @MissEmzyBooBoo Ahh amazing - thank you! 🙌🏼

What better way to return to #edutwitter (again) than engaging with some excellent food for thought from @Xris32 - looking forward to more on this.

[Mary Myatt @MaryMyatt]

'Simply reading challenging, complex novels aloud and at a fast pace in each lesson repositioned ‘poorer readers’ as ’good’ readers, giving them a more engaged uninterrupted reading experience over a sustained period.'
