I am re-vamping our Paper 2 Question 5 unit in Y10. Does anyone have any resources that they’d be willing to share please 🙏🏽 😊 @Team_English1 #teamenglish #edutwitter

What a gorgeous email 🥰 This student arrived in the UK in October 2023 having not been taught a British-based education yet alone any GCSE content before and yet he achieved a 5 in both English Language and Literature! A great reminder of why I love teaching.

@deanray123 @Team_English1 Hey! Yes of course!

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

In September I’m teaching A Level English Language (AQA) for the first time. Our sixth form was established this year so I’m starting from scratch. If anyone could share any resources or recommendations of books/CPD it would be greatly appreciated! @Team_English1 #teamenglish

The teacher exam day nerves are too real! #englishlitpaper1

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

Some of the information given out by the teachers on YouTube absolutely terrifies me 😬

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

I’m about to relive last year’s AQA English Language paper 😁

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

@andie_teaches Hey! I saved these lessons (and those on gender) last year in anticipation of teaching them this academic year and they have been a God-send! I wondered if you happened to have any other paper 2 resources on Dropbox that I'd be able to look at please?😊

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

@H__Ormrod @Team_English1 This is incredibly kind thank you so much!

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

Does anyone please have any resources the for A Level English Language occupation (diversity) topic? Making it all from scratch having never taught it is killing me! TIA @Team_English1 #teamenglish

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

@Matalan hey - please could you dm me regarding an order with damaged items?

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

@miss_tiggr @smarties1978 @Team_English1 Great idea! Thank you!

Let’s talk about characters as devices… 🧵

Lots of the time, character will fall into 3 groups:
- role models
- warnings
- plot devices.

Teaching students which of these they are can be really helpful when moving students to understanding that texts are constructs…

If you want an intro lesson on Child Language Acquisition you could try something I did this week.
Watch some clips of babies (links below) and ask sts to note down ideas in response to the qu: How are these babies communicating?
Students are likely to raise 1

@miss_tiggr Thank you! It’s a bit frustrating - especially for those that were so close to the next grade up!

[Nicole @MsDavisEnglish]

Some of these students were a couple of marks away from the next grade boundary, which is so sad given that was due to error on the examiner’s part (not a criticism as I can appreciate that in many cases it was just human error)

Teaching A-Level Eng Lang is a different ball game because why is this my permanent face ‘🤨’

[Miss Davies📚 @engMissDavies]

I marked for AQA Language Paper 2 this year 🚂 Here’s some takeaways I took that I’ll be sharing with the English dept, so why not share with you all 🪡🧵
